How did laws attempt to control slaves and prevent revolts?
Eagamer999
The laws that prevented revolts were the no travel law that meant slaves couldn't board ships, ferries, or leave town without a written pass. Other strange laws were crime laws like slaves owning hogs, carrying cranes, striking a white person, or disturbing the peace. The punishments included whipping, banishment to the West Indies, and death.
