Slave+Codes

Slave codes defined the place of slaves in North Carolina's social, economic, and physical aspects. They were not allowed the freedom of movement, they could not go anywhere without their master's permission. Slaves also could not learn to read or write, legally marry, or have full control of their time. A few masters allowed slaves to sell produce they grew in their own gardens and earn money doing extra chores, but this was usually the extent.
