Document Summary
3 rolls of microfilm (only sources besides what we talked about in class) (reels not dates) Part of the grade is how well you do your research investigate .

The idea of destroying your own property sometimes stopped harsh punishment. Could mean the cancellation of a dance (at this level however there is not a violation of the sunday off rule) Most attention is drawn to the use of the whip. (symbol of white power) on some plantatons whips were not used, sometimes it was always used. Whipping would occur if you attacked a white person (or even just touched him) or running away (the law for running away says that they are stealing themselves so they are charged with theft)
