Clause 2 required plantation owners to allot land suited to growing provisions, allow twenty-eight working days between May and January for cultivation, and provide food, clothing, bedding, and housing. The text makes subsistence a legal obligation while keeping land access and time under the owner’s discretion. Enslaved people’s own cultivation supported survival and autonomy, but the law did not remove forced labor or property claims. (Consolidated Slave Act, clause(s) 2.)
