Through a misrepresentation of slavery and a misplaced sense of personhood, the court rules Eddo not guilty of the accusation of slavery. This decision not only exemplifies the era’s complacence with oppression, but also the ethically corrupted motivations underpinning British imperialism that would later influence racist policies in other Western countries and promote a false understanding genetics.…

Cruelty was the weapon of the slave owners and with it, they were able to continue to oppress their slaves by fear of the same punishments happening to them. They “altogether [treated] them in every respect like brutes” (Doc 8). The slave owners dehumanized the slaves to the point that they hardly thought they were humans anymore and thereby made it so they felt like they had no right to disobey…
