Detailed explanation-1: -After the Stono Rebellion South Carolina authorities moved to reduce provocations for rebellion. Masters, for example, were penalized for imposing excessive work or brutal punishments of slaves and a school was started so that slaves could learn Christian doctrine.
Detailed explanation-2: -Through singing, call and response, and hollering, slaves coordinated their labor, communicated with one another across adjacent fields, bolstered weary spirits, and commented on the oppressiveness of their masters.
Detailed explanation-3: -The lives of black people under slavery in the South were controlled by a web of customs, rules, and laws known as “slave codes.” Slaves could not travel without a written pass. They were forbidden to learn how to read and write. They could be searched at any time. They could not buy or sell things without a permit.
Detailed explanation-4: -In 1739, the Stono Rebellion, the worst slave rebellion in South Carolina history, broke out. In response to this rebellion, the South Carolina legislature passed the new Black Codes of 1740. These harsh laws would form the basis of race relations in South Carolina until after the American Civil War.
