Problem
Try to explain the possible motivation behind the slave owners' enactment of the Section of the code you chose, and: try to explain the impact of the Section you picked on both enslaved and non-enslaved people. Think about the following as you read and compose your answers, and your answers should reflect that you thought about these questions:
1. What message were the Slave Codes sending specifically to poor whites?
2. Why did white servants need to have a message sent to them?
3. What penalties were given to poor whites (poor whites did not own slaves) for breaking the Slave Codes.
4. Why were poor whites being penalized?
