The Statute Laws of the Slave South, 1789-1865 

By Paul Finkelman 

Afro-American slavery was the product of economic, social, and political forces 

in Europe, Africa, and the New World. When they arrived in the New World, 

the Spanish moved almost immediately to enslave Native Americans. In the 

early sixteenth century the Spanish began to import African slaves to the New 

World. By 1607, when the English established their first permanent settlement 

in Virginia, slavery was an entrenched and flourishing institution in the Spanish, 

Portuguese, French, and Dutch colonies of the Americas. 

Slavery came late to that area of North America which evolved into the United 

States. Blacks first arrived in Virginia in 1619 but there is no evidence that 

these first African arrivals were treated as slaves. As late as 1650 blacks in 

Virginia, Maryland, and the other English colonies had an uncertain status. 1 

Some were slaves for life, while others gained their freedom after short in- 

dentures. By 1700, however, slavery was entrenched in the legal and economic 

systems of Virginia, Maryland, South Carolina, and New York. 2 When 

Americans declared their independence from Britain in 1776 African and Afro- 

American slaves could be found in every one of the newly independent states. 

However, during and immediately after the Revolution the northern states began 

to abolish slavery through constitutional clauses, judicial interpretation, or 

laws known as gradual emancipation statutes. By 1804 every state north of 

Maryland had either ended slavery outright or adopted laws to guarantee its 

ultimate abolition. 3 

In the states south of Pennsylvania slavery remained. Southerners were not 

totally immune to the ideas of the Declaration of Independence. Some 

southerners freed their slaves in the wake of the Revolution. George Washington, 

for example, provided in his will for the emancipation of his slaves. However, 

most of the southern founders remained unwilling to implement the ideals 

of the Revolution when it came to their own property. Even Thomas Jeffer- 

son, the author of the phrase "all men are created equal," failed to eman- 

cipate the overwhelming majority of his approximately 220 slaves. 4 

If the leaders of the Revolution were unmoved by their own rhetoric, it is 

perhaps not surprising that most other southerners also failed to act. Although 

hundreds of southern slaves gained their freedom in the revolutionary period, 

the vast majority of the South's slaves remained in bondage during the period 

their masters fought for independence. In 1790, the U.S. Census recorded fewer 

than 35,000 free blacks living in the South along with nearly 650,000 slaves. 

This contrasts dramatically with the North, where the New England states and 

Pennsylvania had already taken steps to end slavery, with dramatic results. Ap- 

proximately 7,500 slaves remained in those states, but their free black popula- 

tion exceeded 19,000. 5 

During the Revolution then, America became two quite distinct sections: 

the slaveholding South and the free North. While northern legislators developed 

statutes to end slavery, southern legislators faced the more formidable task 

of adopting legislation to maintain their institution. This microfiche collec- 

tion documents how the legislatures of the American South maintained slavery 

State Slavery Statutes vii

from the time of Independence until the 1860's when the emancipation pro- 

clamation, the armies of Sherman and Grant, and finally the Thirteenth 

Amendment brought an end to slavery. 

This collection emerged out of my own scholarly interests in the law of slavery. 

Slavery, however, is inherently interesting to scholars in numerous disciplines. 

For legal historians slavery has a special fascination, because slaves where both 

persons and property under the law. As objects of property slaves could be 

bought, sold, and rented. They were also subject to taxation, and at times, 

even judicial condemnation. As persons slaves could commit crimes and be 

the victims of crimes. Because of their humanity some masters sought to free 

them. Similarly, as human beings they might seek their own freedom, by run- 

ning away or even by purchasing their liberty from their owners. 

Over the past two decades many scholars in law, history, and political science 

have begun to examine the way in which slavery and the law interacted. Most 

of this scholarship has focused on reported appellate court opinions and how 

common law judges adjudicated cases involving slavery. Scholars who are not 

primarily interested in the law have also used legal materials to further our 

understanding of slavery. 

Almost all of this scholarship has been handicapped by a lack of knowledge 

about the statutory law of slavery. This is because statutes on slavery are par- 

ticularly difficult for scholars to use. With the exception of the Law Library 

of the Library of Congress only a few libraries have full runs of the annual 

statutes of all states. Even the best law libraries in the country are likely to 

lack some volumes. Thus, simply obtaining the statutes has been difficult or 

impossible for many scholars. 

Furthermore, because they have not had access to the annual statutes, most 

scholars have relied on the compilations of statutes, codes, or the revised 

statutes, which were irregularly published or adopted in the states between 1789 

and 1865. These volumes are useful, but they pose important problems. The 

codes and revised statutes usually only print laws in force at the time of the 

revision or codification. Thus, many laws are not included in these volumes 

because they were passed after the printing of one revision or code and either 

repealed or forgotten prior to preparation of the next code or revision. Because 

laws are a mirror of a society's attitudes and goals, scholarship is distorted 

and undermined when researchers fail to examine short-lived laws. 

Equally important, compilations, codes, and revisions often deliberately ig- 

nore private laws, certain kinds of special legislation, and legislative resolu- 

tions. In addition, some laws, like statutes imposing taxes, are not found in 

compilations and codes. 

A good example of the problem of changing laws and the importance of 

private acts is the way Virginia dealt with manumission. In 1782 Virginia pass- 

ed a law allowing masters to free their slaves at will and further allowing 

manumitted slaves to remain in the state after they were given their freedom. 

In 1805 the legislature passed a new statute requiring that recently manumit- 

ted slaves leave the state within six months. In 1815 a new law allowed slaves 

to remain in the state if they were manumitted for ' 'acts of extraordinary merit.' ' 

viii State Slavery Statutes

This statute was modified slightly in the revised çqde of 1819. A further revi- 

sion of this law in 1837 gave the county courts the power to decide if a slave 

could remain the the state after manumission. Finally, in 1852 the new state 

Constitution resolved the issue, by firmly prohibiting emancipated slaves from 

remaining in the state after gaining their freedom. This constitutional provi- 

sion also prohibited the legislature from manumitting any slaves. Throughout 

the period before 1852 the legislature passed numerous special acts or private 

acts, emancipating some slaves and allowing particular blacks to remain in 

the state after they were manumitted. These acts are only available through 

the annual statutes. 

Even scholars who have access to the annual statutes of a particular state 

may be daunted by the sheer volume of the statutes and their apparent inac- 

cessibility. Most state legislatures met annually or biennially. Full runs of the 

statutes for some states contain over 85 volumes. These volumes are, almost 

without exception, either unindexed or poorly indexed. The indexing is also 

erratic. One year a state might index laws on free blacks under "free persons" 

and another year under "Negroes." It is simply impossible to rely on the in- 

dexes or even the tables of contents for this period. 

In this project we have attempted to find and publish every statute passed 

in the fifteen slave states that dealt with slavery, free blacks, and the broader 

issue of race. We have included free blacks in this series because questions of 

slavery were often indistinguishable from questions of race. Often legislation 

affected both slaves and free blacks. We have also included some laws which 

were directed solely at whites, but which indirectly affected slaves and free 

blacks. To find every statute we have examined every page of every annual statute 

book for the southern slave states from 1789 to 1865. 

In putting this project together we have tried to be as complete as possible. 

Thus, wherever the word slave or Negro has appeared, we have included the 

statute, or relevant portions of it. We have also included private laws, special 

acts, and legislative resolutions. Our goal is to provide scholars with a tool 

for understanding how slavery affected the work of state legislatures during 

the period under consideration. For short statutes, or those dealing entirely 

or mostly with slavery and blacks, we have reproduced the entire act. For longer 

acts, which are only partially concerned with slavery, we have adopted a dif- 

ferent approach. With these acts we have filmed the first and last pages of 

the act as well as the pages relevant to the subject of this series. This is impor- 

tant because one must know the title of the act and the date on which it was 

passed•information usually found at the beginning and end of the act. A 

good example of such statutes are revenue acts, which provide for numerous 

taxes, including levies on slaves. 

Finally, we have often included the texts of state constitutions and subse- 

quent revisions as they affected slavery. The constitutions are important because 

they provided the political and legal basis for slavery within each state. Most 

of these constitutions had provisions which directly or indirectly acknowledged 

and protected slavery. In addition, the numerous nineteenth century state con- 

stitutional changes directly affected slavery and race relations. For example, 

before the 1830s free blacks were permitted to vote in North Carolina and Ten- 

nessee. Constitutional changes in the mid-1830s eliminated this anomaly of 

State Slavery Statutes ix

southern politics. Similarly, the Virginia Constitution of 1852 prohibited 

manumission by the legislature and required that all slaves manumitted by their 

owners leave the state within one year. This clause was designed to settle, once 

and for all, the problem of free blacks in Virginia. Obviously constitutional 

law cannot be separated from any scholarly examination of the legal history 

of slavery. 

Perhaps the most remarkable thing about this collection is its sheer volume, 

over?,100 statutes.There is usually one general law, private act,or resolution 

on slavery adopted by every legislative session or every state for virtually the 

entire period from 1789 to 1865. Legislators probably passed more acts on 

slavery than on any other subject. Equally important, these statutes show how 

slavery affected virtually everything legislators did. 

Indeed, these laws show that almost nothing could be created in the 

antebellum South without taking slavery into consideration. A perusal of the 

laws of Georgia, passed in the 1849-1850 legislative session reveal the wide variety 

of legislation on slavery. An act for the incorporation of the town of Dalton, 

Georgia contained a provision giving the mayor and council power "to pass 

laws and ordinances for the control of slaves and free persons of color.. ." 6 

An act of that same year to regulate the fees magistrates and constables re- 

ceived naturally included provisions for presiding over the trials of slaves and 

for the whipping of a slave. Under this law the constable received $1.35 for 

every slave or free black he whipped "by sentence of Court." 7 Another act 

provided for the payment of jurors who heard trials of slaves, while another 

law required that sheriffs publish notices, of captured runaways in certain 

newspapers. The mundane legislation of this particular session was balanced 

by an act authorizing the governor to call a convention to protest the "ag- 

gressive intolerance" of the "non- slaveholding States." 8 

Except for the resolution touching national politics, the Georgia acts of 

1849-1850 were hardly unusual. The Alabama laws of 1837 reveal similar at- 

tention to slavery. A cursory examination of them reveals the extent to which 

slavery intruded upon the legislative calendar. 

A law of 1837 prohibited grave robbing or the use of bodies for medical 

experimentation without the consent of the families. An exemption was made 

so as not to prevent "any physician or student of medicine, from dissecting 

the body of a slave with the consent of the owner." 9 Even in death slaves 

might profit the masters and contribute to the overall welfare of the society. 

Another act of that year required that liquor merchants swear an oath that 

they "will not sell any spirituous liquors to any slave or slaves." 10 An act pro- 

viding for a state census of 1838 naturally provided for separate totals for free 

blacks, and for slaves. Whites were to be subdivided by age and gender; blacks 

were not." An act incorporating the town of Gainesville rather redundantly 

asserted that only "free white males above the age of twenty-one" could vote. 

The same law empowered the new government to arrest "refractory slaves," 

to "restrain.. .disorderly or dangerous meetings of slaves, free Negroes, or 

mulattoes," and to require that all male slaves and "other persons of color" 

x State Slavery Statutes

etween sixteen and fifty work on the town roads for ten days of each year. 

Whites were also required to work on the town roads, but their obligation did 

not begin until they turned eighteen and it ended when they were forty-five. 12 

The city of Montgomery, incorporated the same year, was given more general 

powers. Perhaps the legislature felt that a city of that size did not need such 

explicit instructions on how to control blacks. However, this act did provide 

special taxes for slaves and free Negroes, and a special provision for patrols. 

Unlike a town, the citizens of the city of Montgomery were not expected to 

work on roads, and therefore the act made no provision for slave road work 

either. 13 

The 1837 Alabama legislature also passed a number of private acts, to com- 

pensate masters whose slaves were executed, to provide for the sale by court 

order of certain slaves in the town of Courtland, to alter the patrol laws of 

Jefferson County, to confirm the manumission of a slave named Babb, to pay 

sheriffs for executing various slaves, and to pay a lawyer for prosecuting a 

slave. 14 A lengthy joint resolution urged the annexation of Texas, in part so 

"many of the enslaved, but worthy and magnanimous sons of Ireland, of France 

and of Poland" might be able to move to the United States. 15 

The many Alabama acts of 1837 dealing with slavery illustrate a common 

theme of southern legal history. Southern legislatures were constantly busy 

tinkering with existing slave codes, enacting new laws, and applying the laws 

of slavery to new circumstances. This should not surprise us. Next to real estate, 

slaves were the most valuable form of property in the South. But, unlike real 

estate, slaves were, as Kenneth Stampp once noted, "a troublesome proper- 

ty," 16 which required constant attention and réévaluation. 

The statutes in this collection allow scholars to see how the South crafted, 

and recrafted, legislation to control its peculiar institution. The laws adopted 

by a democratically elected legislature reveal much about the society that it 

governs. The laws in this collection show that slavery was often on the mind 

of southerners and that they were seldom satisfied with the laws and controls 

they had. Some of these laws are responses to particular events•such as the 

attempted slave revolt of Denmark Vesey in Charleston, South Carolina in 1822 

and the bloody Nat Turner rebellion of 1831 in Virginia. Other laws respond 

to more general developments in society. Laws prohibiting the circulation of 

abolitionist papers, for example, are in direct response to the growth of the 

antislavery movement of the 1830s. 

Most of this legislation is neither dramatic nor politically motivated. It 

responds to the day-to-day needs of a slave society. Far more than court deci- 

sions, this legislation reflects how citizens of the South viewed their world, 

and what their goals were. Reported court decision, after all, are based on 

unusual events•crimes or civil suits; trials and appeals. Most cases are not 

appealed. Thus, by their very nature appellate decisions are not necessarily 

representative of the experiences and events in a society. Judicial opinions are 

an important measure of a society. But, the courts cannot take the initiative. 

Reading the opinions of the Virginia Court of Appeals would never allow us 

to see how important manumission was to the state. There are a few very im- 

portant cases on the subject, scattered over a sixty year period. But, there are 

numerous statutes and special private acts emancipating slaves and allowing 

State Slavery Statutes xi

freed slaves to remain in the state. Taken together they tell us much about the 

tension in Virginia between those who wanted to free their slaves, and thought 

they had a right to control their property as they wished, and those who thought 

the growth of a free black population was dangerous for the society. These 

acts are only available through a careful search of the annual statutes. 

Similarly, the appellate court opinions in South Carolina tell us little about 

the reaction to Denmark Vesey, William Lloyd Garrison and the antislavery 

movement, or the growing hostility in the North to the return of fugitive slaves. 

The laws and resolutions of South Carolina tell us much about all these things. 

Finally, the appellate court opinions•which are usually the meat and 

potatoes of legal history•tell us little about the day- to-day regulation of slavery 

and slaves. For persons interested in how law works at the local level, the place 

to begin is with the statutes. For social historians, interested in the impact of 

culture on law, and vice versa, the statutes are an invaluable source. Hopefully, 

this collection, the assemblage of which has taken six years, will lead to new 

scholarship in fields such as legal history, slavery, and antebellum culture.

USER INSTRUCTIONS 

The instructions below describe the organization, information elements, and 

suggested uses of the Bibliography of State Slavery Statutes and the Index by 

Subjects, Names, and Geographic Locations. 

Accession Numbers and File Organization 

This collection assembles the text of all slavery-related statutes, including revised 

statutes, as well as constitutional articles and amendments from the 15 slave- 

holding states. Slavery statutes are organized alphabetically by the convention 

of current state postal abbreviation in the Bibliography. Within states, statutes 

are organized chronologically according to the sessional volume in which they 

were published. 

Each sessional volume has been assigned a single accession number for 

reference purposes in the Bibliography and Index sections. This accession 

number is similar to the document's microfiche accession number within the 

companion microfiche collection, and is based on the name of the state and 

the date of the sessional volume of statutes. 

The initial element of the accession number refers to the state and is based 

on a two-digit abbreviation for each of the 15 slave-holding states as follows: 

AL Alabama MO Missouri 

AR Arkansas MS Mississippi 

DE Delaware NC North Carolina 

FL Florida SC South Carolina 

GA Georgia TN Tennessee 

KY Kentucky TX Texas 

LA Louisiana VA Virginia 

MD Maryland 

The second element refers to the year in which the volume was published. 

Where there is more than one sessional volume per year, a third element refer- 

ring to the specific month has been added. 

For example, a statute assigned the number AL-1840 comes from the Alabama 

sessional volume for 1840; a statute assigned the number AH 841.4 comes from 

the Alabama sessional volume for April 1841.

Each sessional volume containing slavery-related statutes is listed alphabetically 

by its state abbreviation, and then chronologically by the date of the sessional 

volume. 

A detailed table of contents has been prepared for each sessional volume. 

The table of contents lists the title of every slavery-related statute in the order 

in which it appears in the volume. Where statutes have been assigned a chapter 

or other number those numbers precede the title; where no number has been 

assigned to the specific statute, the title is preceded by a dash. Relevant page 

numbers follow the statute title in square brackets. 

Following the table of contents is a listing of all indexing terms that have 

been assigned to that particular volume. This list, though not quite even a 

verbless abstract of the content of the statutes, does give the researcher an idea 

of the topics covered in the statutes of each session. 

Index by Subjects, Names, And Geographic Locations 

The Index by Subjects, Names, and Geographic Locations provides access by 

(1) major subject themes and organizations covered in the statutes; (2) names 

of persons affected; and (3) names of cities, towns, counties, and other locations. 

Entries in this index consist of the following structural elements: 

• terms; 

• accession numbers; 

• "see" and "see also" references. 

xvi State Slavery Statutes

Subject Theme and Organization Terms 

Subject terms have been assigned to each statute in the collection; organiza- 

tion terms have been assigned as appropriate. Terms were chosen to reflect 

the major topics of the statutes and have generally been worded to reflect the 

language of the statutes themselves. 

Where similar subject concepts have been grouped together see references 

lead researchers to the specific terminology that has been used in the index. 

Where similar concepts have been indexed separately see also references lead 

researchers to related concepts. For example, the subject terms "Fugitives" 

and "Runaways" have both been used in this index in order to preserve the 

differences in their meaning and see also references in the index lead resear- 

chers from one term to another. See also references have also been used to 

lead researchers from broader to narrower concepts. 

Personal Name Terms 

Names of all persons affected by state slavery-related statutes have been indexed. 

In cases where a person has both a forename and a surname, names have been 

inverted. In this collection, however, there are many names of slaves without 

surnames. These names have been entered with a parenthetical description that 

might help to further distinguish them. Therefore, the index includes such name 

terms as "Jacob (slave)" and "Mary (woman of color)". 

Geographic Locations 

Names of all cities, towns, counties, and other relevant locations have also 

been indexed.
