with dennis childs about his "slaves of the state: black incarceration from the chain gang to the penitentiary". >>. [singing] >> the abolishment of slavery had to do with the way in which slavery was re-fabricated through seminal sanctions so if you look at the language of the 13th amendment to the u.s. constitution, what it says is that slavery is outlawed except as punishment for a crime. and in my book, i do a whole chapter on the debates around that amendment. that is rightfully considered one of the most progressive moments in us legal history in 1865 when slavery was abolished and i go to those debates in congress to tease out how is it that this really important moment for human rights and civil rights in us history had this exception clause that basically allow for reinstatement of 4 million africans who ostensibly had freedom? it's interesting the expectations of black people after this amendment was passed was actually, we will live as citizens of the united states for the first time and what the reality that set in especially after reconstruction and the birth of the kkk but also t

they didn't really think of the idea of the penitentiary until later. so, and the idea of sort of the divine right of kings that the kings would sometimes pardon people, use mercy as sort of a way to not put people to death, but a lot of crimes were punishable by death, and it was a mandatory punishment. so at the time of the founding fathers, we had the same idea. the first federal crime bill was in 1790, the crimes act, and it made several offenses punishable by death. although at that time a lot of the action was taking place at the state level for the punishment of crimes. let me talk a little wit about the state -- a little bit about the state constitutions in a minute. the first person that really advocated against the death penalty in a comprehensive way is somebody who was an italian aristocrat from milan, was just 26 years of age when he published a book called -- [speaking italian] which was the italian version of a book that was translated into english as on crimes and punishments in 1767. and note that was just a little bit after the stamp ac

they didn't really think of the idea of the penitentiary until later and the idea of the divine right of kings, the kings would sometimes pardon people, use mercy as a way to not put people to death in a lot of crimes are punishable to death is mandatory punishment so that the time of the founding fathers we have the same idea. the first federal crime bill was in 1790, the crimes act and made several appendages -- offenses punishable by death. the first person to advocate against the death penalty in a very of way with somebody who is known as the markey of the korea he was an italian aristocrat 26 years of age when he published a book called -- which was the italian version of a book translated into english on crimes and punishments in 1767. that was just a little bit after the stamp act riots were happening and so his book came at a very opportune time to the united states because he wrote against tyranny and road against the death penalty and he wrote against torture. at that time i talked about the mandatory death penalty. when we move into the enlightenment montesquieu the french
