Describe the reasons the General Assembly was motivated to create slave codes, and explain how this document provides evidence of the creation of a race-based class society in the colony.

Slave Codes and the Creation of a Race-based Society

1. The reasons the General Assembly of the colonies created slave codes were:

a. To protect the interests of the white slave owners at the detriment of the slaves.

b. To ensure that slaves had no weapons of revolt against their enslavement.

c. To deny slaves the benefits of education.

d. To forbid free movement of slaves.

e. To ensure that slaves were traded as chattels at the pleasure of their masters.

2. Evidence that the slave codes created a race-based class society in the colony:

a. Slaves needed the permission of their masters to move about.

b. Slaves could not carry firearms or explosives whereas their master could bear such arms.

c. It was difficult for slaves to acquire education to enable their liberty as it was made illegal for anyone to educate them in reading and writing.

d. Inhuman punishments were meted out to slaves by whipping, branding, imprisonment, mutilation, and various abuses.

Explanation:

The failure of the United States to fully integrate resulted from the slavery codes that made it difficult for whites to accept blacks and others as human beings, created equal in the sight of God.  Many white people today still regard blacks as black in blood, and therefore, inhuman.  The proof of this was the trading of slaves and the enactment of slave codes, which were laws that legalized and justified slavery in people's consciences.
