3. Classify Natives and Blacks the same way you would horses and 

hogs in the tax code. Meaning, they were literally classified as livestock, and not as human. 

4. Blacks can't hold office. 

5. All property owned by a slave is sold, which of course contributes 

to Black poverty. 

6. Oh, and White indentured servants who were freed are awarded fifty acres of property, of course contributing to White prosperity. 

So, in order to keep their human property from rising up, slaveholders and politicians created a new unnatural system. A new set of racist codes. I think he wanted us to realize what happens when someone dies.

Franklin started a club called the American Philosophical Society in 1743 in Philadelphia.
Thomas Jefferson
About Jefferson. You know how I said Gomes Eanes de Zurara was the world's first racist? Well, Thomas Jefferson might've been the world's first White person to say, "I have Black friends.” I don't know if that's true, but I'm willing to make the bet. 
Phillis Wheatley
 She was a poet. But before she was a poet, she was a young girl, a captive brought over on a ship from Senegambia. She was purchased by the Wheatley family, who wanted a daughter to replace the one they'd lost. Phillis would be that stand-in. And because she was a “daughter,” she was actually never a working slave and was even homeschooled.
Benjamin Rush

The author wanted to make sure he got his point across without going into too much detail.
He was able to teach his readers this differences between racism, anti - racism, and assimilation.
