Reading edition
[936] Bruce, The Economic History of Virginia in the Seventeenth Century, ii, p. 130, says of the Indian slaves of Virginia: “The regulations established for the management of such slaves were practically the same as those in operation for the control of Africans. They were brought within the scope of every measure adopted for the protection of the negro slaves, and morally as well as materially stood precisely upon the same footing in the view of the law.” McCrady, Slavery in the Province of South Carolina, in Annual Report of the American Historical Association for 1895, p. 642, states: “In South Carolina from 1690 onward, all acts concerning slaves apply to Indians as well as negroes.”
