The cornrows were used to create maps and paths of escape as these routes could not entirely be memorized. The number of plaits worn could indicate how many roads people had to walk or an escape route. Most times the escape routes were seen when slaves were in transit to and fro with slave masters. So the paths were braided down for subsequent escape. What would be your reaction to this time period as the colonizer and as the colonized? THE COLONIZED THE COLONIZER  THE COLONIZED THE COLONIZER For this indeed was the beginning of misery "I discovered many islands inhabited by For us, numerous people.
