The Status of the Negro in Virginia During the Colonial Period (Classic Reprint) - Couverture souple
Synopsis
Understand Virginia’s early race and law through original documents
This historical study compiles charters, laws, and church records to show how slavery, population growth, and control shaped colonial Virginia. It traces legal provisions from the 17th and 18th centuries, including runaways, inspections, and restrictions on assemblies, and links them to the broader social and religious context of the era.
The book examines how colonial charters granted authority and how those powers were restricted by English law. It then moves to the day‑to‑day realities of enslaved people, including how authorities tracked births, deaths, and ownership, and how laws evolved to regulate slave conduct, punishment, and resistance. It also highlights the role of the church and ministers in shaping attitudes toward slavery and education for enslaved and free Black people.
- How charters shaped colonial governance and the legal status of enslaved people
- Detailed discussion of laws on runaway slaves, punishment, and militia duties
- Accounts of early African and African‑American population estimates and growth
- Context on religious institutions and moral debates surrounding slavery
Ideal for readers of American colonial history and those exploring the roots of slavery in Virginia.
