Slave Codes: Crash Course Black American History #4

Күн бұрын

Slave codes were a method of protecting the investment of white enslavers in the Colonies by restricting the lives of enslaved people in almost every imaginable way. The codes restricted enslaved people’s ability to move around, or engage in commerce that could make them financially independent - they restricted the opportunities that would allow them to live with even relative freedom. Today, we'll learn how Colonies put laws in place to restrict the movement and freedoms of enslaved people and free Black people.

Clint is doing a great job. Such a shame that the subject matter requires discussions of Black American History to be somber and depressing. So glad to be learning about it

As much as I have learned from and enjoyed other series, I subscribed via Patreon because of this series. Being from the UK, we are taught about the slave trade to some extent but very little about how the laws in the US developed. (Under the framework laid out by the British monarchy and legal systems until the US gained independence, I might add). I knew nothing of how the laws were literally made up on the hoof to be discriminatory. We can't go back in time and we can't correct every wrong from the past but it's never been clearer to me that the legacy of colonialism impacts an individual's life chances and opportunities today. Until there is a level of cultural acceptance as to the history of the US and that it's rise as a world power owed an awful lot to the work of the enslaved, appropriate restitution is unlikely to happen. For many people, this series will be a starting point in their understanding of that cultural history.

Thank you for these videos Clint. Probably one of the most important topics one can learn about, while also being one of the most intentionally misrepresented by the american schooling system.

I don't think it's too far off to say that workers are always an underclass, that corporations always look at their employees only as monetary assets Slavery is different, worse, than that. A worker can't leave their job because they need to pay rent, pay bills, raise a family, a slave can't leave their job because they'll be physically tortured if they try. There is a distinction to be made here.

Another great video. Is this a sad story of unnecessary harm or a triumphant story the progress made? Both. Let’s proudly own the history we want to repeat and make sure we separate our identities from the crimes of our ancestors.

I wonder if American slaves could go back & get the paperwork from the slave master to see what they had planned for their slaves. If anything happened to them?
