project: slave codes
slave laws, called slave codes, varied in detail from state to state but were generally restrictive and negative, and strengthened during periods of increased abolitionist activity. slaves that broke any of the laws or codes were tried in regular courts or slave tribunals. the usual punishment for an infraction was whipping; but branding, imprisonment, or execution were the punishments for more serious offenses.
