In what may be the most impressive research to date of state supreme court records, this study analyzes the evolution of Loui siana's slave laws from the territorial period to the Civil War. Schafer presents numerous concise case his tories, stories that are fascinating and at times heartbreaking in the particulars they reveal about slaves' existence. Anyone interested in slavery will find Schafer's work riveting reading, for it depicts in detail, probably better than most fictional or narrative accounts, what living in bondage could mean.Languages:EnglishPublisher:LSU PressISBN-13:9780807121658ISBN-10:0807121657UPC:9780807121658Book Category:Law, Social Science, Political ScienceBook Subcategory:Civil Law, Cultural & Ethnic Studies, Civil RightsBook Topic:African American & Black StudiesSize:9.00 x 6.06 x 0.91 inchesWeight:0.545Product ID:SCTWN468R5
