One definition is long ago when they where sold into slavery by rival tribes whom unfortunately traded an estimated 10 million to the Europeans mostly West Africa ...20 million traded to Arabs from East Africa just an estimated figure only. But while in Bondage most all new arrivals could only speak their Native rogue which varied from tribe to tribe, as they learned the tongue of the nation they were traded into slavary the slaves would sing Old spiritual songs as they worked to Highten their spirits also to work in rhythm thats all they had the only thing that no Man could take from them!
