Reason for law

From what I understand, this law was passed in response to the Stono Rebellion, which had occurred the year before in South Carolina. 98.150.18.203 ( talk) 00:42, 19 February 2010 (UTC) reply

Did this act include a ban on drumming for African American slaves? 173.88.246.138 ( talk) 00:39, 6 November 2022 (UTC) reply

Yes, it banned drums, horns, and other loud musical instruments. Can we add this information to the article? 173.88.246.138 ( talk) 00:53, 6 November 2022 (UTC) reply
