Excerpt from The American Slave Code, in Theory and Practice: Its Distinctive Features Shown by Its Statutes, Judicial Decisions and Illustrative Facts
It is Often maintained that the legal. Relation of master and slave is not a criminal one, and that there is no sin or moral wrong in the mere fact of sustaining that rela tion. On the other hand, it is held that the relation is wrong in itself, and cannot be innocently sustained.
Such a question cannot, intelligently, be settled without a correct understanding Of that legal relation, and of the particulars in which it consists. And it is only by the Slave Code Of the country that the legal relation can be ascertained. By this, and by this only, is it to be defined. The legal relation of master and slave is what the Slave Code declares it to be. And it is nothing else.

Rev. and Dear Sir,
On returning the MSS. of your "American Slave Code, in Theory and Practice," I must ask you to accept my thanks for writing it, as well as for favouring me with its early perusal. Surely, never before has mischief been framed by law with more diabolical ingenuity than in this infernal code. Your analysis of the slave-laws is very able, and your exhibition of their practical application by the Southern Courts evinces great and careful research.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book delves deep into the American slave code, meticulously dissecting its legal framework and exposing its devastating consequences. Through an exhaustive analysis of slave laws and their practical application in Southern courts, the author unveils the horrifying reality of human chattelhood. Drawing upon historical and legal precedents, the book meticulously traces the evolution of the master-slave relationship, revealing its roots in the Roman civil law and its stark contrast to the more humane regulations found in other colonial contexts. By examining the various facets of the slave system, including the buying and selling of human beings, the denial of basic rights, and the brutal punishments inflicted upon slaves, the author lays bare the inherent cruelty and injustice embedded within the very fabric of the code. Ultimately, this book serves as a powerful indictment of American slavery, demonstrating how the legal framework not only legitimized but also actively perpetuated the dehumanization and exploitation of enslaved individuals. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
