Sugar and Law: The Barbados Slave Code Explained
As the balloon rises in Washington Black, there is law. In 1661, Barbados codified goods slavery and became Britain's first slave society. The Barbados Slave Code created a legal blueprint that formed the Atlantic world, normalising penalty, securing planter residential or commercial property, and defining racial status in statute.
