The Consolidated Slave Law was a law that was enacted by the Barbados legislature in 1826. Following Bussa's Rebellion London officials were concerned about further risk of revolts and instituted a policy of amelioration. This was resisted by white Barbadian planters. In consequence The Consolidated Slave Act was a compromise: it simultaneously granted concessions to the slaves whilst also providing reassurances to the slave owners.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://barbados.gssites.com/pages/info/index.htm )〕 Three concessions to the enslaved were: * Right to own property * Right to give evidence in courts in all cases * Reduction in manumission fees Three concessions granted to the slave owners * That a white person could kill an enslaved person during revolt with impunity * Capital punishment of any enslaved person who threatened the life of a white person * All free black people needed a correct evidence of the such rights or they will be presumed to be enslaved ==See also== * Amelioration Act 1798 * William Huskisson 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Consolidated Slave Law」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
