The Law of Freedom and Bondage in the United States V2, Part 1 is a book written by John Codman Hurd in 1862. This book is a comprehensive analysis of the legal system in the United States in relation to the issues of freedom and bondage. It is divided into two parts, with the first part focusing on the legal aspects of slavery and the second part examining the legal status of free blacks.Hurd provides a detailed examination of the various laws and court cases related to slavery in the United States, including the Fugitive Slave Act and the Dred Scott decision. He also explores the legal arguments used by both pro-slavery and anti-slavery advocates, and the ways in which the legal system was used to support or oppose slavery.In the second part of the book, Hurd examines the legal status of free blacks in the United States. He discusses the various legal restrictions placed on free blacks, such as restrictions on their ability to own property or to testify in court. He also explores the ways in which free blacks used the legal system to challenge these restrictions and to assert their rights as citizens.Overall, The Law of Freedom and Bondage in the United States V2, Part 1 is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the legal history of slavery and freedom in the United States. Hurd's thorough analysis of the legal system provides a deeper understanding of the complexities and contradictions of the American legal system in relation to issues of race and freedom.In Two Volumes.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
