Today in class we examined some of the 1833 Slave Codes of Alabama. These were a series of laws passed by the state legislature that governed the actions between whites, free blacks, and slaves of Alabama.
Tonight for h.w. read the Slave Code handout and choose three codes that you understand then do the following
1. Place the code in your own words
2. Explain what method of control the Slave Code used: Maintaining Strict Discipline, Requiring slaves to have complete submission, instilling total fear and dependence, or convincing slaves that they are inferior to whites.
