The law that caused the greatest change to the legal status of slavery was the declaration of slavery as a hereditary condition.

Once the slave trade was in full force from the 17th century, slave owners sought ways to take more advantage of their enslaved people.

This led to the passing of a law that made slavery a hereditary condition. It completely changed the legal status of African Americans because:

  • Children of slaves were considered enslaved people as well
  • Children of slaves could be bought and sold as property
  • No child of an enslaved person was born free

In conclusion, making slavery a hereditary condition led to the greatest change in the legal status of North American slaves.
