Drapetomania was a psychiatric diagnosis proposed in 1851 by physician Dr. Samuel A. Cartwright, of the Louisiania Medical Association, to explain the tendency of black slaves to flee captivity.
The diagnosis appeared in a paper published in the New Orleans Medical and Surgical Journal, where Dr. Cartwright argued that the tendency of slaves to run away from their captors was in fact a treatable medical disorder. His feeling was that with "proper medical advice, strictly followed, this troublesome practice that many Negroes have of running away can be almost entirely prevented." Cartwright proposed whipping as the most effective treatment of this disorder. Amputation of the toes was also prescribed.
Cartwright also described another disorder, "Dysaethesia Aethiopica", to explain the apparent lack of motivation exhibited by many slaves, which he also claimed could be cured by whipping.
