Problem
There are eight foundational pillars of a caste system, and the first four are Divine Will and Laws of Nature, Heritability, Endogamy, and Purity vs Pollution. The last four pillars of the caste system deal with hierarchy, dehumanization, terror, and superiority. From what you already know and using Notes on the State of Virginia as a reference, discuss one or more pillars of caste within the context of slavery in the early United States.
