South Carolina slave codes

South Carolina established its first slave code in 1695. The code was based on the 1684 Jamaica slave code, which was in turn based on the 1661 Barbados Slave Code. The South Carolina slave code was the model for other North American colonies.^[1] Georgia adopted the South Carolina code in 1770, and Florida adopted the Georgia code.^[2]
