Slavery and the Law

This collection provides invaluable insight to scholars, students, and general readers of the humanities into testimony on a broad range of subjects by a variety of southerners—Black and white, slave and free, slaveholder and non-slaveholder, man and woman. The documents include State Slavery Statutes, a master record of the laws governing American slavery, covering 1789–1865 and petitions to state legislatures and courthouses.
