As a fifteen-year-old Negro in Colonial South Carolina, there were few opportunities to learn, while living in the plantation, but missionaries played an import role. Education was the basic reading and writing, which would enable my age mates and I, to read the bible as preaching the gospel became more popular. Despite my immediate and extended family being in slavery there was increased support for instruction in religion in 1750, and this was an opportunity for me to be away from the fields, even as I could not do hard manual labor. However, even as we all spoke English, easier to understand the mission teachers who had interacted with slaves for longer.
While the whites enjoyed freedom at the expense of slavery, my parents indicated that there were likely more assimilated slaves than before. Nonetheless, there was still interaction that blacks influenced the white folkways and religious beliefs. While I could not say how colonies and regions where black history was influenced by interactions between whites and blacks, but even then the education and enlightenment were linked to social class since the freedmen were more likely to gain educational privileges (Cornelius, 1999). Nonetheless, education was still limited to religion, and there were more fears that servile insurrection would disrupt the plantation system. My parents were bound in slavery, but as I was allowed to learn appreciated the opportunity regardless of all the restrictions in movement, freedom and what I and other Negroes would learn.
The Negro Act of 1740 in South Carolina had been adopted in response to a slave rebellion in 1939 and made it illegal to teach slaves to read and writer, but I was lucky enough to learn. The presence of free persons of color was essential in my learning as then there is less need for supervision of the learning process as was the case when the whites oversaw the process. Education was linked to religious or social purposes, but there were still fears of slave rebellions that the white freedoms were restricted, and there were more controls on the purchase of slaves.
