Emphasizing practice rather than proscription, the book follows South Carolina colonists as they used English law to maximize the value of the people they treated as property. Doing so reveals that most daily legal practices surrounding slave ownership were derived from English law: colonists categorized enslaved people as property using English legal terms, they bought and sold them with printed English legal forms, and they followed English legal procedures as they litigated over enslaved people in court. Bonds of Empire ultimately shows that plantation slavery and the laws that governed it were not beyond the pale of English imperial legal history; they were yet another invidious manifestation of English laws protean potential.</p>...848825Bonds of Empire476580https://www.gandhi.com.mx/bonds-of-empire-1/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/923331/9a2cadca-e7f8-4d2c-a52d-24f34528f90e.jpg?v=638336787980730000InStockMXN99999DIEbook20219781108857932_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9781108857932_<p>Bonds of Empire presents an account of slave law that is entirely new: one in which English law imbued plantation slavery with its staying power even as it insulated slave owners from contemplating the moral implications of owning human beings.
