1660-1669 Virginia Slave Laws: Legislation, Enslavement Regulations, Legal Framework.
“Plato defined a slave as one who accepts from another the purposes which control his conduct. This condition obtains even where there is no slavery in the legal sense. It is found wherever men are engaged in activity which is socially serviceable, but whose service they do not understand and have no personal interest in.”
~ John Dewey, in Democracy and Education (1916), Section 7: The Democratic Conception in Education
