Slave Patrols: Law and Violence in Virginia and the Carolinas is a 2001 non-fiction book published by Harvard University Press by historian Sally E. Hadden. Hadden investigates the origins of slave patrols, that often enforced laws involving slaves, in the late seventeenth century in the American states of Virginia, North Carolina and South Carolina and the role these patrols had on the Ku Klux Klan after the American Civil War (1861 – 1865), an internal war following the secession of the Confederate States of America, which intended to uphold the enslavement of black people.
