What is Slave Code

This chapter will explore the establishing of the New America also known as the New World. This “New America” or “New World” was eventually established (i.e., colonized) by Great Britain (i.e., more specifically England), and then African slaves were brought to work the land. An overview will take place of this historical reality. Myriad questions will be answered, like What happened when settlers first interacted with Native Americans or the indigenous people of the land? What happened when slaves arrived? What were the conditions like for “the other”? Myriad terms will be defined and discussed such as slave codes and a term the author has coined, “slave initiation,” within their/its historical context. Other historical incidents and occurrences will be discussed and analyzed such as the establishment of Jamestown, Virginia. Then solutions and recommendations will be discussed.
