dc.description.abstract	The title of this article connotes a description of the application of the Roman law of slavery in the present State of Louisiana, only one of the fifty federated States comprising the United States, and a small one at that. Accordingly, the article will first explain why the Roman law of slavery was applied in great part only in Louisiana, and second, will describe the application of one aspect of the Roman law of slavery in that State. Because of space limitations, the article will focus on the area of the manumission or emancipation of slaves.	en
