Yeah I feel bad for her, but she was on a path of self destruction to begin with. She would have never reached out for my hand no matter how hard I would try~

I wonder, if slave owners back in the day never taught their slaves how to read or write or anything of the sort for the fear they would be too smart and try to overthrow them.....who taught them how to speak english? Like how were they communicating back then?

You can learn languages by ear and observation. Also, when slaves had children they would grow up mostly around English so that's what they spoke.

Yeah i get hearing it by ear, but how were the other slaves able to learn enough to orchestrate escapes or get the word out.

That's an interesting thought. If there were many revolts with early slaves. They would put people of different cultures in company towns so they couldn't unionize. There is a lot of truth in the quote. "It is no nation we inhabit, but a language. Make no mistake; our native tongue is our true fatherland." From Emil Cioran
