"Slave patrols\u2014also known as patrollers, patterrollers, pattyrollers or paddy rollers\u2014were organized groups of armed men who monitored and enforced discipline upon slaves in the antebellum U.S. southern states. The slave patrols' function was to police enslaved persons, especially those who escaped or were viewed as defiant. They also formed river patrols to prevent escape by boat. Policing the movements of Black people, slave patrols were explicit in their design to empower the White population. They were first established in South Carolina in 1704, and the idea spread throughout the colonies before their use ended following the Civil War."@en . . "14104"^^ . . . . . . . .
