Colonial Slave Legislations & Slavery in the Americas

Slave populations in the New World resisted enslavement using different methods, from adopting violence and escaping to passive resistance. Colonial empires systematically passed legislation to justify and retain control of the slave population and penalize resistance. Join us in a dialogue about slavery, resistance, and slave laws in the Americas.
