The document discusses various forms of control used on plantations to control enslaved populations, including psychological, economic, social, ideological, physical, and cultural controls. It provides examples of each type of control, such as convincing slaves of their inferiority, limiting economic opportunities, enforcing social hierarchies, using punishment, and banning cultural practices. The controls were established through slave codes and legislation that differed between colonies but generally aimed to regulate treatment and prevent uprisings through fear and division of the enslaved.
This presentation provides a general history of American slavery (with greater emphasis on its development than on its antebellum incarnation) to give students some understanding of the institution. It is the fourth in a series of presentations designed for college students in a seminar on The Civil War and Reconstruction. Students will spend more time engaging antebellum slavery (the slavery that is more familiar to most Americans) in class.

It shows the caste and social stratification existing in India. It also tells about history of social stratification in world as well as India. Four varna system of India is also included. In all it focuses mainly on origin of stratification and its prevalence today.
The partition of British India was an extraordinary event. It brought forth giant personalities, monumental egos, brilliant strategists, saints, scoundrels, politicians, thinkers, tinkers, stinkers, sages and sycophants. Like an angry volcano it spewed forth human passions in their ugliest form consuming oceans of humanity. In its aftermath it left more than a million dead, fifteen million refugees and tens of thousands of women abducted. Two nations inherited the Raj and were immediately locked in mortal combat. A third nation has sprung up since, while the first two, India and Pakistan, now nuclear armed, continue to stare at each other waiting to see who will blink first. The last chapter of the history of partition is yet to be written. The secret of whether it will have a tragic end with a nuclear holocaust or a happy new beginning with cooperation and brotherhood for the poverty stricken millions of the subcontinent is hidden in the womb of the future, dependent as is all human endeavor, on the wisdom of generations to come.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

4. FEAR AND CONTROL
• Plantation society was based on fear.

1) Why was it necessary to control slaves on a
plantation?
2) Who were the persons/ social class that created
the laws?
3) Were the laws the same for each colony?
4) Were the forms of control effective?
7. LEGISLATIONS
• Laws were passed based on the colonies needs.
• The British had not established a set standard of codes. Instead each colonial
assembly made is own laws/codes. Many patterned Barbados codes.
• The laws allowed for basic rights of the enslaved which extended over time
• Codes in other colonies were called:
• Spanish colonies – Siete Partidas
• French colonies – Code Noir
8. LEGISLATIONS
• The codes clearly outlines how slaves are to be treated.
• Women were not protected under these laws.
• The laws stated how much food, clothes, provision grounds and punishment was
to be given to the slave.
• Laws restricted the movement of the slave
9. CODE NOIR – THE FRENCH
• These were created in France and sent to the colonies
• It dictated social, political and economical life of all involved in plantation society.
• If a planter got a slave pregnant, he was to free the child and the mother. It also
stated that pregnant and sick women were not to work as hard as one who was
not.
• It also clearly outlined their punishment. Pregnant women were not exempt from
punishment.
• The law stated that women were to receive 10 lashes maximum but planters/
overseers often gave them as much as men.
10. CODE NOIR – THE FRENCH
• The code was divided into three sections religion, property and freedom.
• It regulated rations, conditions for housing and food. It also granted the right to
legal trial and civil rights.
11. SIETE PARTIDAS – THE SPANISH
• The slave code were sent from Europe.
• Male slaves were allowed to get married and have children. The laws prevented
race mixture but it was still carried.
• The slaves were to be converted to Christianity. Slavery was legal but not good. A
slave was the member of society.
• Slaves were legally protected and were to be treated well. They could be freed if
they were abused and it could be proven. They were freed if they were born from
a planter
• The laws legally protected the slave from mistreatment
12. SIETE PARTIDAS – THE SPANISH
• Slavery was accepted a part of society since Columbus ensured that laws on
slavery transmitted the status of a slave to the children of slaves. This way
slavery would be the core of the colonial system.
• Spanish plantations were not depended on black slaves. The whites
outnumbered the blacks.
• There was no distinction between a surf and a slave. They were persons and not
property.
• These laws were not practiced in the Spanish colonies however
13. SIETE PARTIDAS – THE SPANISH
• The slave code were sent from Europe.
• Male slaves were allowed to get married and have children. The laws prevented
race mixture but it was still carried.
• The slaves were to be converted to Christianity. Slavery was legal but not good. A
slave was the member of society.
• Slaves were legally protected and were to be treated well. They could be freed if
they were abused and it could be proven. They were freed if they were born from
a planter
• The laws legally protected the slave from mistreatment
14. PSYCHOLOGICAL CONTROL
• Planters convinced slaves that they were inferior.
• This was done by having detailed definitions of white, black and coloured.
• Teachings were supported by the church about submissiveness.
• There was also public forms of punishments used to ensure psychological
pressure on the enslaved.
• These include public whipping, hanging and torture.
15. ECONOMIC CONTROL
• Ideally, plantation society was paternalistic. The planter is responsible for his slaves
and other possessions.
• The planter provided housing, rations and controlled their slave’s time. The work day
was created to satisfy the needs of the plantation and the planter.
• The provision ground given to slaves could only be worked on restricted time and
meeting time was specific.
• The earnings of the jobbing slaves went to the planters.
• The aim was to limit and control and limit the opportunities open to enslaved persons
to obtain extra earnings.
16. SOCIAL CONTROL
• Planters implemented mechanisms of social control by creating classes and
affording status within the system of enslavement.
• They also give some groups privileges such as domestic slaves enjoying better
food and clothing. Others included drivers, doctors, skilled workers and midwives.
These ranks were valued and afforded a better status within the plantation.
• There was a system of reward for the enslaved that defended the master, gave
information on or defended the master’s property,
• This helped them to remain divided and prevent resistance activities.
17. IDEOLOGICAL CONTROL
• Africa is uncivilized and is the “dark continent”.
• Africans are inferior and European values are
norms.
• Schools taught children that Africans were below
them and that their culture was negative.
• European customs were forced on the enslaved as
positive behavior.
18. PHYSICAL CONTROL
• Punishment was an important control agent in plantation
society. Planters were brutal and each plantation had a
prison.
• Repeat offenders were put on a treadmill, flogging,
mutilation and torture was common.
• Public humiliation had an important psychological value
beyond discouraging disobedience and enforcing
acceptance of Planter’s dictation.
19. CULTURAL CONTROL
• Planters practiced deculturalization. Deculturalization is the action of changing the
culture of another race of people.
• They actively banned the slaves from singing traditional songs and performing
traditional dances or worshipping their gods.
• The planter also exploited divisions within the social divisions they created such
as creole vs African-born, light skin persons vs dark skin persons.
• Slaves and mulattoes continuously resisted this form of control became important
strategy.
