Interesting and troubling website on TN Supreme Court Rulings in 1840s

Rating: Null/10 (25 June 2015)

I thought this would be of interest to some of you- a lot of these appeals involve slavery and the sale of 'negroes'. My God, slaves were considered property,that's it. Some of these rulings involve convictions for 'selling spirits to a slave', slave owners who have died and ownership of slaves are in question, and there is a troubling ruling on a child slave who died after being punished for running away.. the child was purchased by another slave owner and died before ownership was taken over and the purchaser wants his money back. There are three different links covering different periods. The site doesn't appear to be that user-friendly and I cant seem to find rulings for other years, like the 1850s. Interesting but sad reading. Its not letting me post the link on here but it is off of archive.org. If you do a search on TN Supreme Court rulings from the 1840s it may come up..I can send it to anyone who messages me too. It wont let me post it saying word is 'too long'.
https://archive.org/search is just part of the link.
