Виргинский закон 1662 года об обращении в рабство детей рабынь:

In 1662, the Virginia colony passed a law incorporating the principle of partus sequitur ventrem, ruling that children of enslaved mothers would be born into slavery, regardless of their father's race or status.^[6] This was in contradiction to English common law for English subjects, which based a child's status on that of the father. In 1699 Virginia passed a law deporting all free blacks. But many new families of free people of color continued to be formed during the colonial years by the close relationships among the working class.^[1]
