I have been reading through this book on the matter: The Half Has Never Been Told: Slavery and the Making of American Capitalism by Edward E. Baptist https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/14894629-the-half-has-never-been-told
The descriptions of violence toward slaves is heavily discussed and is quite eye-opening to me, since this is not the version I was taught in school!
Typical, but not required! If it was required they would probably write bullshit anyway, but this is not even the minimum of standards they are trying to uphold. A supreme joke of a court.
