Slave marriages were not recognized in colonial law. Some enslaved men and women married “abroad”; that is, they married individuals who were not owned by the same master and did not live on the same plantation. These husbands and wives had to travel miles at a time, typically only once a week on Sundays, to visit their spouses. Legal or religious authority did not protect these marriages, and masters could refuse to let their slaves visit a spouse, or even sell a slave to a new master hundreds of miles away from their spouse and children.

- They passed a law that states if a white man wishes to purchase goods they first must notify 3 noblemen as to their intentions.
- Why is he appealing directly to the Portuguese king for aid? *I believe that since this King has modeled himself after the Portuguese kingdom and imitating their royal court that he felt like a peer to the Portuguese king and could ask for assistance, especially since the king of Portuguese had written him previously stating that if they ever needed anything, they had only to ask.
