In this source it is talking about Louisiana's Code Noir which basically talks about laws and codes that are put for slaves, slave owners, and "free" blacks. In the source it says that the Louisiana's Code Noir is also called the "slave code" which is pretty self explanatory implying that it was a "code" for slaves

In the code it states that, "If the husband be a slave, and the wife a free woman, it is our will that their children, of whatever sex they may be, shall share the condition of their
mother, and be as free as she, not-withstanding the servitude of their father; and if the father be free and the mother a slave, the children shall all be slaves." and what this means is if the the father of the children is a slave and the mother a free woman then the children are free too, but if the mother is a slave and the father free then the children are slaves too. This really surprised me. It makes me wonder why they don't just let the children be free either way. I also think it might be to keep the children with the mother.

In the article it states that, "Slaves who shall not be properly fed, clad, and provided for by their masters, may give information thereof to the attorney-general of the Superior
Council, or to all the other officers of justice of an inferior jurisdiction,
and may put the written exposition of their wrongs into their hands" which basically means that if slaves are mistreated then they can take action against it and actually take it to court which really surprises me because in a lot of cases years later when slaves were mistreated it was okay because they were "property". In the article it states that, "It is our will that this regulation be observed in all accusations for crimes or barbarous and inhuman treatment
brought by slaves against their masters." which means that when slavery first started they though of them more humanely instead of just "property" and actually cared about how they were treated by the masters and made sure they weren't being treated like animals.

This connects to the other articles because it explains what was to be done to slaves and how they should be treated and in the other articles it shows if the code was followed or not. It helped explain that slavery did have rules and laws to be followed and it also connects with the articles by seeing if the rules were actually followed from what we read in the other articles. It tells us that slaves actually had a chance to be free according to the rules and in the other articles we can see if that was the case according to the kind of slave owner they had.

In the source it talks about slaves being transported from Angola to Mexico. The article says that on the trip the slaves, "endured the horrific journey" and that around half of the slaves died when two pirate ships stopped the hull and delivered them to Point Comfort.  In the article it also says that when enslavement began it wasn't "based on race" but then in the 15th century slavery was, "was commercialized, racialized and inherited".

Something that I learned and that kind of surprised me was that race wasn't a factor of slavery when it first originated. This really surprised me because when I learned about slavery as a kid it was based mainly on race. If you weren't white you didn't have as much privilege as a white person. If you were black you were automatically a slave because any other color that wasn't white wasn't right according to slavery. You were just an object if you were black and some people even said that it was a sin to be black. Which sounds dumb to me because you really can't control the color of your skin and how you're born. It's not like you can be like, "Hey God can you make me white with a slight tan?" before being born. No.

Stuff that should be included from this article when telling the story of how slavery evolved in the U.S is the fact that after the Revolutionary War slaves and African-Americans went to statehouses and courthouses so that they could fight for their freedom like the colonials did as humans and this is stated in this piece of evidence, "African-Americans took their cause to statehouses and courthouses, where they vigorously fought for their freedom and the abolition of slavery." Another thing that should be included when telling how slavery evolved is the fact that, "children born after July 4, 1799, were legally free when they turned 25, if they were women, or 28, if they were men" so if you were an African-American male that was born after July 4th of 1799 you could be "legally free" when you turned 28 years old and if you were a female you could be legally free when you turned 25 years old. In 1808 there was an act passed which basically said that America was no longer a part of the International Slave trade as it is stated here, "In 1808, Congress implemented the Act Prohibiting Importation of Slaves, which terminated the country’s legal involvement in the international slave trade"

This connects to the other articles by telling us helping us uncover what was really going on with slavery and telling us stuff that we possibly didn't know about slavery so that we could better understand the reasoning to why certain actions were done. Like for instance the article tells us how horrible the trips were on boat and that slavery didn't start off as a racial thing.

In the source, Equiano-excerpt, it is basically an auto-biography where the narrator starts with him being home in the country of Africa with his sister and one day he gets kidnapped and sold to a slave owner and he talks about his experience being a slave to all the different slave owners he's sold to. For example he describes one of his slave owner to be so nice that, "all their treatment of me, made
me forget that I was a slave".

Something that surprised me is the fact that slaves were kidnapped from their owners as well just to be sold to other slave owners. Another thing that astonishes me is the fact that he says the word astonish a lot in the source. Something that I learned that surprised me at the same time was that when people were slaves somewhere they didn't always stay there for the rest of their lives they would get sold to different slave owners a lot during their lifetime.

Something that should be included when telling the story of how slavery evolved in the U.S. from this source is that it didn't really start in the U.S. it mainly started in Africa also when slavery first started racially the slaves weren't always treated so poorly. I mean don't get me wrong I still don't think slavery was a good thing and I don't think it was right, but this article shows that some slave owners had sympathy slaves and tried to treat their slaves as nice as they could. Another thing that should be included is that African-American parents had to leave their kids alone and the kids had to protect themselves and people would try to kidnap the African-American kids a lot so that they could sell them to slave owners.

This connects with the other articles by having the narrator who was a slave explain to us what being a slave was like from the point of view of a slave. This helped us really see what the slave life was like and if the masters followed codes and how slaves were treated and it also uncovered secrets or told us things that we possibly didn't learn before like the fact that slaves were moved and kidnapped a lot.
