The Black Codes From The Subscriber: My Mulatto Boy, George. Said George is 5 feet 8 inches in height, brown curly Hair, dark coat. I will give $400 for him alive and the same sum for satisfactory proof that he has been killed. Vide Anthony A Ellis Mammoth “Uncle Tom’s Cabin”

The Beginning Laws that were shaped after slavery laws 1865: Mississippi and South Carolina were the first to pass these types of laws.

South Carolina: Black Codes Civil Rights (to people of color) – Acquire, own, and dispose of property – Make contracts – To enjoy the fruits of their labor – To sue and be sued – To receive protection under the law – To have their marriage and children recognized as their own * Black + white = no marriage under the law (void and illegal)

South Carolina: 1865 Constitution "No person of color shall migrate into and reside in this state, unless, within twenty days after his arrival within the same, he shall enter into a bond with two freeholders as sureties“ – Surety An individual who undertakes an obligation to pay a sum of money or to perform some duty or promise for another in the event that person fails to act. "Servants shall not be absent from the premises without the permission of the master“

1865 SC Constitution Servants must assist their masters "in the defense of his own person, family, premises, or property“ No person of color could become an artisan, mechanic, or shopkeeper unless he obtained a license from the judge of the district court – a license that could cost $100 or more.

Virginia Slave Laws December 1662 Whereas some doubts have arisen whether children got by any Englishman upon a Negro woman should be slave or free, be it therefore enacted and declared by this present Grand Assembly, that all children born in this country shall be held bond or free only according to the condition of the mother; and that if any Christian shall commit fornication with a Negro man or woman, he or she so offending shall pay double the fines imposed by the former act.

Virginia Slave Laws September 1667 Whereas some doubts have risen whether children that are slaves by birth, and by the charity and piety of their owners made partakers of the blessed sacrament of baptism, should by virtue of their baptism be made free, it is enacted and declared by this Grand Assembly, and the auhority thereof, that the conferring of baptism does not alter the condition of the person as to his bondage or freedom; that diverse masters, freed from this doubt may more carefully endeavor the propagation of Christianity by permitting children, though slaves, or chose of greater growth if capable, to be admitted to that sacrament.

Virginia Slave Laws September 1668 Whereas it has been questioned whether servants running away may be punished with corporal punishment by their master or magistrate, since the act already made gives the master satisfaction by prolonging their time by service, it is declared and enacted by this Assembly that moderate corporal punishment inflicted by master or magistrate upon a runaway servant shall not deprive the master of the satisfaction allowed by the law, the one being as necessary to reclaim them from persisting in that idle course as the other is just to repair the damages sustained by the master.

Virginia Slave Laws October 1669 Whereas the only law in force for the punishment of refractory servants resisting their master, mistress, or overseer cannot be inflicted upon Negroes, nor the obstinacy of many of them be suppressed by other than violent means, be it enacted and declared by this Grand Assembly if any slave resists his master (or other by his master's order correcting him) and by the extremity of the correction should chance to die, that his death shall not be accounted a felony, but the master (or that other person appointed by the master to punish him) be acquitted from molestation, since it cannot be presumed that premeditated malice (which alone makes murder a felony) should induce any man to destroy his own estate.
