Republicans have long criticized ballot harvesting. Following the 2020 election, many Republicans alleged that widespread illegal ballot harvesting affected…
Slave patrols played an important role in the Antebellum South. They were groups of armed men who monitored, controlled, and policed slaves while enforcing the system of slavery. One of their primary functions was to prevent slaves from escaping. They conducted patrols along rivers and in remote areas to stop escape attempts by boat or along less-traveled routes. If a slave did manage to escape,…
