154. In 1791 Robert Carter III, one of the wealthiest plantation owners in Virginia, stunned his family, friends, and neighbors by filing a deed of emancipation, setting free the more than 500 slaves who were legally considered his property.

I want to know the structure of "setting free the more than 500 slaves who were legally considered his property."

"stuned....... and set.." or "by filing .........and setting... "

which one is correct??

"stuned....... and set.."

In my opinion,I think the structure is "stuned....... and set.."

Howevere, it seems change the original meaning,and means that he stunned is family first and then set free the salaves.

I think a reasonable meaning is "set free........ first and then stunned latter.........."

So I confused!!!!

thanks for your help!!!!

by是介词后面要接动名词或名词，所以是filling，后面的setting是对前面的内容作进一步的解释，不是与filling的并列结构！！

You mean "setting free the more than 500 slaves who were legally considered his property." modify "deed of emancipation"or "filing"?

setting伴隨在stun .....by filing...之後，一起修飾本句的主語Robert Carter III

这个consider是什么用法？

consider 不用加as吗？没有consider a as b 的用法？
