Slave+Codes

The Slave Code was basically rules that slaves had to live by in America. For example, it was illegal for a slave to learn how to read or write. They were also not allowed to marry legally or have freedom of movement. Only in rare cases could any slaves earn money from themselves, but only when they had no other work on the plantation. When a slave traveled anywhere outside of the farm, he had to have a written pass and they were usually not allowed to travel in large groups. Once a year, at Christmas, the slaves could celebrate and dress up just as if they were free and the master's family provided them with nice clothes and treats. Slaves had to live by very strict rules, having most of their time controlled by their masters and little freedom of their own.
