However, trying to offer some help, we did deep research and can comment on the following.

The author supports the idea that people wanted to believe African slaves in the south used a secret code "by showing that the history of the quilt code wasn't known before the 1990s, and then it became a popular topic."

We are referring to the History article called "The Slave Quilt Code. Fact or Fiction?" written by Ron Fridell.

In the article, the author says that after the 1990s, American people started to believe that African American slaves developed a secret code to escape to the northern states to be free. But historians have not found yet a real or valid historic support that confirms the assumption.

from the religious point of view, the conflicts began because of the enmity between catholic and protestants. in 1649, at the insistence of baltimore, the colonial assembly approved the act of religious tolerance, the first law in the colonies granting freedom of worship, though only for christians. in 1654, however, with the protestants of maryland in the majority, the act was revoked. the almost civil war broke out and order was not restored until 1658, when lord baltimore was returned to power.

on the issue of class conflict, the chesapeake region offered few economic opportunities to contract employees who had served their term of obligation. even with the small amount of capital needed to grow tobacco, former hired servants at best became subsistence farmers, a mature class for those called to rebellion, such as those proposed by nathaniel bacon. as the number of new hired workers declined because of limited chances of progress and reports of severe treatment, they were replaced by african slaves.

from the racial point of view, after 1660, the chesapeake colonies imposed laws that defined slavery as a lifelong and hereditary condition based on race. this made slaves profitable because planters could rely not only on their work but also on their children. the slave population, which numbered four thousand in virginia and maryland in 1675, grew significantly by the end of the century.
