Book Overview
The Trial and Execution for Petit Treason of Mark and Phillis: Slaves of Captain John Codman is a historical account written by Abner Cheney Goodell Jr. in 1883. The book details the trial and execution of two slaves, Mark and Phillis, who were accused of killing their owner, Captain John Codman, in 1755. The case was significant because it was one of the few instances in which slaves were tried and executed for the murder of their master. Goodell Jr. provides a detailed analysis of the legal proceedings and the social and cultural context of the time. The book also explores the role of slavery in colonial America and the legal and moral implications of the case. Overall, The Trial and Execution for Petit Treason of Mark and Phillis is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of slavery and the legal system in colonial America.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
