Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Finds that poor relief was substantially more generous and more readily available in rural areas of South Carolina than elsewhere in British North America, or indeed in the Anglophone world ... this was because elite vestrymen had deep-seated concerns about the position of the white poor in a society that was dominated by African slavery ... the serious attention paid to the situation of the white poor in colonial South Carolina was therefore part of an effort to ensure the unity of white society by overcoming the divisions of class"--Page 955.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Eighteenth-century residents of Charles Town, South Carolina, provided publicly funded relief for their poor through the Anglican parish vestry. The Commons House enacted legislation that mirrored the Elizabethan poor law used in England to establish a system of poor relief. This study describes the administration of public relief, the relief system legislated by the South Carolina Assembly, and traces how the system changed over time to adapt to the conditions present in the colony. The vestry used outdoor relief to help the poor, but with the growth of the town, the vestry combined continued outdoor relief with the indoor relief provided through a workhouse. By examining the colony's formal policy of poor relief, this work sheds light on how South Carolina, a slave society, fit into a broader Anglo-American world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Poor Relief in North Carolina The poorhouse of the early days Of-the State's history to a very much greater extent even than the county home of today, was the dumping ground for all the misfits of society. It was the direct descendant of the old Eng lish workhouse. It was maintained quite as much for the purpose of dis posing of certain undesirable classes of the population as of caring for the indigent. The first attempt at legislation for poor relief in North Carolina was a bill introduced in the Colonial Assembly, April 7, 1749, designated a bill for the relief of the poor and the prevention of idleness. Likewise the first law enacted by the Colony, 1755, provided for the restraint of vagrants as well as for making provision for the poor. Since vagrants and other minor Offenders, able-bodied people, were to be sent to the poorhouse-s, which were gradually provided in the various coun ties, it was wisely decided that the able-bodied inmates. Should contribute to their own support. The most natural thing in the early days of the State was to decide that this could be best accomplished by putting these inmates to work on the farm. It became the custom, therefore, to place the poor house ou a farm and to expect it to be largely self-supporting. There is little reason to believe that these farms, except perhaps in rare instances, were ever successfully operated. 'often the determining factor 'in securing land for the poor farm was that a large number Of acres could be purchased for a small sum of money. Often the land selected was unde sirable for farming because of its lack of fertility, or its inaccessibility, or both. The management, both from the point of View of equipment and of supervision, was usually as unintelligent as the purchase. The population Of the county home has change-d. Vagabonds and rogues are still sent to the county poor farm, but not in so great numbers as for merly. Children are not found in nearly so great numbers as was once the case. The violent insane and the epileptics have in large measure been provided for. A beginning has been made toward State care for the feeble minded. But the poor farm remains. Practically all the county homes in the State have considerable farms, or at least areas of land, attached. As shown by a careful census made in 1922, Of the ninety-four counties owning poor farms only six counties - Beaufort, Carteret, Dare, Hyde, Pasquotank, and Tyrrell - have holdings of less than twenty-five acres. Eight others Craven, Lenoir, Madison, Moore, Richmond, Robeson, Wilson, and Yancey report acreages ranging from twenty-five to fifty. Twenty-nine counties have farms of from one hundred to two hundred acres; twenty counties, of from two hundred to four hundred acres; and nine, of more than four hundred acres. Within the last two years Alamance, Chatham, Vance, Nash, and Halifax have built new homes on reduced acreages.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Government of the Colony of South Carolina The following monograph aims to give a description of the government of South Carolina during the colonial period, from the constitutional standpoint. As the current course of events had been fairly well related by several interesting writers, it seemed best to omit all mention of political his tory except where necessary to explain constitutional changes. It is hoped that the topical method adopted will give a clearer idea of the constitutional changes than would a chronological account. The foot-notes have been made perhaps more numerous than was necessary, but the object in so doing was to Show the reader where to turn for a fuller investigation of the subject treated, rather than to furnish authorities for statements in the text.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In Injustice, Inc., Daniel L. Hatcher exposes how justice systems are harnessing America's history of racial and economic inequality into revenue-generating operations. Courts, prosecutors, probation, policing departments, and detention facilities are trading away ethics and justice to churn vulnerable children and adults into an unconstitutional factory enterprise. These justice institutions are entering contracts to make money removing children from their homes, monetizing harm from juvenile delinquency, child welfare and child support proceedings, extorting fines and fees, collaborating with private debt collectors, enforcing unpaid child labor, seizing property, incentivizing arrests and evictions, maximizing occupancy in detention and 'treatment' centers, and more. Hatcher details the disproportionately racialized harm and unconstitutionality of the injustice enterprise, and calls for opened eyes to our justice system failings--to walk a better path toward instilling truth into the words 'Equal Justice Under Law'"--
