Synopsis
Excerpt from The American Slave Code, in Theory and Practice
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.
