dance the steps their African slaves teach them ...talk like an African

[ish mailian]

At Ch 28, in his SDB, WC suggests that the Virginians have learned to
dance in a style taught them by African slaves. To ears not accustomed
to Virginian dialects,  Washington talks like an Africans.


Here WC is satirized for his ignorance of and his disdain for the rich
and immaculate  cultural exchange and mixing in Virginia.
