Rodger was a crippled slave . His master punished him by tying his neck to the wall.
The next morning Rodger choked and died. In the court Rodger's master was not punished.
It was claimed that it was Rodger's fault as he moved from his main position and choked.
This is an incident in South Carolina in 1849.
These type of incidents often occurred in a country of liberty and freedom("liberty" was added in the Constitution in 1776)
