How America Created a Racial Caste System

In this video, we delve into the pivotal laws from the 1600s that played a significant role in shaping the racial caste system in the United States. From the Virginia Slave Codes of 1705 to the Virginia Law of 1662, these laws laid the legal groundwork for the institution of slavery and the systemic oppression of Black people. Learn about key moments in history that defined the racial divide, such as the "partus sequitur ventrem" law, the prohibition of interracial marriage, and how these laws reinforced racial inequality that would last for centuries.
