Virtually no death penalty research has focused on slave executions in the United

States. To correct for this deficiency, this article constructs a descriptive profile of

slave executions using &4. Watt Espy’s index of executions in the United Statesbetter

known as The Espy File. The construction of a descriptive profile of slave

executions is important because analyses of capital punishment in the United States

have not delineated the socio-historical relevance of slavery to the execution of

blacks. As an augmentation to the research record regarding the general population

of executed prisoners, the profile documents the date, method, and jurisdiction of

execution, the criminal offense for which the prisoner was executed, and whether

the execution involved compensation paid to the slave owner. The descriptive profile

suggests that slave executions are associated with the institutionalization of

slavery; a correspondence between geographical regionalization and the execution

of slaves; that execution was a means of punishing slaves for participation in slave

revolts; and that slave executions are directly related to prohibitions against

miscegenation.
