Tartan Jack Posted May 5, 2010 Posted May 5, 2010 and I am teaching him to read.... That's good! (Esp. as he seems to be able to read and type on an internet forum . . . ) Also, that is in keeping w/ some Southerners of the period! The "Dissident Presbyterians" that were starting to come to the Southern backwoods thought (and are WELL documented saying so in the later 18th and 19th C.) that slaves should be treated as a members of the family or not be held all all. Disciplinary actions were taken against church members found to be abusing and otherwise mistreating slaves. They also repeatedly got in trouble w/ state governments (inc. a series of lawsuits w/ the state of South Carolina in the 18th C) for teaching slaved to read and write. Huzzah! -John "Tartan Jack" Wages, of South Carolina
