| Columbia Slave Laws | |
| By: Columbia Confederates Date: August 24, 2015, 4:52 pm | |
| --------------------------------------------------------- | |
| (1) Since Columbia's inception in the late 1700's, involuntary | |
| servitude and slavery has been outlawed. | |
| (2) Many of these 'slaves' are indentured servants who could not | |
| pay off debt or needed financial protection. | |
| (3) Thief's and Criminals can be bought by people to serve their | |
| terms outside of prison as field workers. | |
| (4) Indentured servants usually stay around for 6 years and then | |
| are set free with payment for their works. | |
| (5) Planters generously give to their slaves when freed. Many | |
| planters will give flocks, land, wine, and money to the men who | |
| worked hard for them. | |
| (6) Slaves are held responsible to the law and must act as if | |
| they are free men by fulfilling their civil duties. | |
| (7) Runaway slaves are protected by the state government. | |
| Usually runaway slaves are abused and will be given an attorney | |
| to defend them in court. | |
| (8} Columbia outlawed the abuse of slaves in 1860. Slaves may be | |
| whipped, but excessive abuse and punishment will be tried and | |
| the slave will be set free. | |
| (9) Slaves are free to practice religion and the state | |
| government defends that right. | |
| (10) Columbia has passed numerous female slave laws to protect | |
| them from sexual abuse. | |

| OOC:... am I missing something? You say slavery is outlawed in | |
| your first rule, then continue on to describe limitations for | |
| it. | |
| One of the higher ups may need to check this, but I don't think | |
| slavery is allowed in the NCSA- not to mention that I'm pretty | |
| sure the World Assembly has passed a resolution banning slavery | |
| worldwide. | |

| He said involuntary as in forced into it. Voluntary is them | |
| having the choice themselves. | |

| Okay then go have a higher up look at it, but in the NCSA | |
| Constitution slavery isn't outlawed. | |

| OOC: Okay, you're right. But lets all just calm down now. | |
| Message me if you've got an issue. Ill talk. | |

| OOC: Yes. Calming down is a brilliant idea. This sounds like the | |
| days of old where there was a lot more of :'( than :P . We do | |
| need to remember that this is a game, and just because a nation | |
| supports something here doesn't mean that their real life views | |
| are that as well. | |

| OOC: Well, these -are- his personal views, and he took it very | |
| very personally. He cannot distinguish between IC and OOC, and | |
| he feels that when we attack his nation's choices, we attack | |
| him. | |

| Caos that is false. I actually don't believe slavery is morally | |
| right, I think if someone does want to be a slave though, then | |
| who am I to stop them right? It is time to stop the :'( and | |
| time to let loose and start the :P | |
