Education
Ellin was unable to read or write in 1880.[1]
An amendment to the 1739 Negro Act in South Carolina in the early 19th century "prohibited teaching slaves to read and write, punishable by a fine of 100 pounds and six months in prison." [2] Further research needed to determine her status prior to the Emancipation Proclamation, but I have not yet found any evidence of any free persons of color in Colleton County in 1860.
Long after Ellin was passed her school years, South Carolina was the last state in the United States to officially desegregate their schools.[3]
