Answer:
Slave codes gave white masters total control over the lives of slaves and allowing the masters to use punishments (i.e. whipping, branding, maiming, and torture) to inflict fear in the slaves.
it included:
- No right to bear arms or self-defense
- Legal imbalance (i.e. a crime against a white person was punishable with death)
- Travel Restrictions (only allowed with written permission by the slave owners) and if they escaped (punishment was death/public whippings/branded, loss of ear/castrated)
- Any skin color other than white were targeted and treated as slaves
- Blacks were not allowed to own property because they were considered property
- Slaves were not allowed to congregate because slave owners feared they would come together and rebel as a group
- They were not allowed to read or write (it was illegal) and anyone teaching a slave were fined up to $500 and face 6 months in jail
- Slaves were not allowed to marry (if they wanted to marry it was through permission of the owner and it had to be recognized as a Catholic wedding)
- Slaves was used as commodity; if a slave owner needed a loan, they can use their slaves as security deposit or wagers for gambling.
