“…The slave patrol evolved from any white South Carolinian's ability to "apprehend or chastise" enslaved people with the formation of the first policing entity in 1704. 13 In the Carolinas, the patrols' primary function was to (1) recapture runaways; (2) to maintain plantation discipline, often through terror tactics; and (3) deterrence-prevent trouble from starting or escalating, also a function of modern policing. 14 As Philip Reichel puts it, slave patrols had This description of the "slave dwellings" avoids discussing enslaved people.…”

This article draws on the author's 2009 tour of South Carolina's Magnolia Plantation as a primary text to examine how nostalgia for the 19th-century plantation and the Lost Cause Confederacy continues to limit entangled understandings of the past. Plantation tourism reveals how participants negotiate the layers of the past and the present-bringing in new and tense forms of engagement with a dismissal of the past (and present), of consuming it, and of rewriting one's heritage. These tours' audience ranges from those haunted by the past to those who want to celebrate the ubiquitous idea of "the gallant South." The erasure and containment of the site's horror indicate how tour operators profit from redeployments of the South. The plantation's architecture, particularly the Big House, reverberates as a site of symbolic, political, and familial power. These aspects of tourism, nostalgia, and memory illuminate the palimpsestic presence of the plantation in daily life.

“…American society’s maintenance of social and physical boundaries that relegate minorities to certain areas, or prevent them from entering certain spaces, has historical underpinnings. The antebellum South included state-sanctioned slave patrols to protect White interests in overseeing enslaved persons and restricting their movements (Durr, 2015; Reichel, 1992). Post-emancipation, Black Codes and Jim Crow laws were instituted to retain Whites’ socioeconomic and political control and regulate the movement and daily lives of the Black populace (Alexander, 2010; Bass, 2001).…”

Missouri has been a part of the national discussion on racial profiling for several years—most recently with the NAACP’s issuance of a statewide travel advisory warning Black motorists of high disproportionality in vehicle stops. In their annual reports of stop data, agencies can submit a response to explain their numerical data. This study inductively analyzes the content of these written responses ( N = 806), which were submitted between 2001 and 2019. Findings indicate that agency responses contain rationales in accordance with a sense of group position, with explanations for stops, searches, and arrests of motorists of color framed in terms of outsiders as a problematic influx upon insider spaces. The responses also show that the explanations are more about policing place than a legitimate effort at maintaining safety of the jurisdiction. The results of this study have several important implications for research, theory, and policy.

“…In Southern America, the police force began as the "slave patrol", created in 1704 in the Carolina colonies. Its primary functions were to: 1) find and return enslaved Black people to their owners; 2) prevent and deter revolts; and 3) maintain discipline for enslaved Black people if they violated any plantation rules (Reichel, 1992). In Northern America, while the police were not developed as "slave patrols", they were developed for a similar purpose.…”
