A LTHOUGH eighteenth-century Chesapeake planter looked upon newly enslaved Africans as strange and barbaric folk, he knew that American-born slaves could be taught English customs. Hugh Jones, a Virginia cleric, commented in I724 that the languages of new Negroes are various harsh jargons, but added that slaves born in Virginia talk good English, and affect our language, habits, and customs.' How readily slaves in Maryland, Virginia, and other British colonies accepted English ways is currently a subject of controversy. Some scholars hold that preponderance of whites in population was so large, and repressive power of whites over blacks so great, that slaves in Chesapeake colonies were forced to accept Anglo-American beliefs, values, and skills. Other writers maintain that slave migrants and their descendents created indigenous social institutions within framework of white rule.2 This essay
