Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Police Control of the Slave in South Carolina In the fall of 1909 the late Professor Frederick W. Moore suggested to me as a topic for investigation, the police control of the negro in the period of 1861-1865 and following years. It was his suggestion that by using several states as illustrations I should show to what extent the Southern people sought to perpetuate not slavery, but the same method of controlling the emancipated negro which was in force under the slavery regime, the difficulties which were met with from without and the measure of success attained. The first question arising was: what was that method? It was soon evident that the laws on the statute books did not adequately answer the question. To get a clear understanding of that system another question, or two other questions, had to be answered: to what extent were these laws enforced; and, what extra legal method may have been resorted to in a system so flexible as slavery was? These questions caused the monograph to assume large proportions; for in only a few of the states has the history of slavery been written. Beginning in South Carolina, my native state, I soon became attracted by the possibilities of a study of the institution of slavery from this point of view of slave control in one of the oldest communities. Hence in order to bring this within the compass of a doctoral dissertation, at the later suggestion of Professor Sioussat. I limited the study to one state and to a study of the ante-bellum period, attempting, as far as possible, to show to what extent the laws were enforced. It is my hope, at some later time, to be able, with this study as a basis, to answer the original question as it affects South Carolina. It affords me pleasure to acknowledge assistance in the way of helpful suggestions and criticism from Professors Sioussat, Dyer and Mims of the Vanderbilt Faculty; Professor U. B. Phillips, of the University of Michigan, and T. D. Jervey, Esq., of Charleston. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
