Frederick Douglass recognized, “By far the larger part of the slaves know as little of their ages as horses know of theirs, and it is the wish of most masters to keep their slaves thus ignorant.” Why would slave owners want to keep slaves "ignorant" of their age and birthday?

• Slave owners did not want to give slaves a day off from work

• Slave owners did not want to give slaves a day of celebration

• Slave owners withheld this information because they looked on slaves as less than human.

• Slaves owners did not know the age or birthday of their slaves either.
