In Minna's case, white people fought over who would pay for the costs of caring for a dependent, apparently enslaved, woman. Hartog marks how the peculiar language mobilized by the debate -- about care as a "mere voluntary courtesy"--Became routine in a wide range of subsequent cases about "good Samaritans." Using Minna's case as a springboard, Hartog explores the statutes, situations, and conflicts that helped produce a regime where slavery was usually but not always legal and where a supposedly enslaved person may or may not have been legally free"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Slavery $x History. $z New Jersey $x History. 650 0 $a Slaves $z New Jersey $x History. $x History. 650 0 $a Liability (Law) $z New Jersey $x History. 650 0 $a African Americans $x History. $z New Jersey $x History. 650 7 $a African Americans $x Legal status, laws, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00799632 650 7 $a Liability (Law) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00997079 650 7 $a Slavery $x Law and legislation. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01120465 650 7 $a Slaves $x Social conditions. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01120577 651 7 $a New Jersey. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01208379 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117030615.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20180605014249.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=118E8D5E688611E8A317244297128E48 994 $a 92 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
