French and Dutch codes outlined restrictions for manumission, while self-purchase was never a feasible tool for slaves in the British colonies of Barbados, Jamaica, and the United States. In the south of the United States, as in other British colonies, they did not want slaves to be able to use the law for their own benefit. Slaves were barred from prosecuting for themselves or for others in court and their testimony was inadmissible on principle, unless taken from them by torture.
