I’m unclear why English-speaking would be a sales advantage when all English-speaking Caribbean and Latin American islands and countries had banned slavery decades before the US did.

I believe only Dutch and Spanish countries, and few of those, still had slavery in the 1860s.

I post to whomever I please. The gentleman or lady you reference has not used foul language to me, so I see no particular reason why I should restrict my associations at your convenience.

the reason that speaking English was a "value added item" was that English was THE language of the slavers, as the VAST majority of the slavers, who bought/transported/smuggled/transported the slaves were New Englanders! that's why.

chattel slavery in one form or another existed in MANY of those countries well into the 1880s & in some cases 2 decades or more beyond.

fwiw, you are WELCOME to post to the "filthy-mouthed LOUT" and/or to anyone else that you wish to post to.

i would just think that you wouldn't want such a person on FR,who posts that FILTH in the presence of ladies & children.

btw, have you noticed that MOST of the ladies that USED TO POST on these threads do NOT do so now??? can you guess WHY they do NOT???

the answer is: the constant FILTH, smeared upon this forum by then likes of "mr. potty-mouth".

may i also remind you that "mr. potty-mouth" is a member in good-standing of "the DAMNyankee coven of fools, nitwits, BIGOTS, "useful idiots", etc"??? = that is the REASON that the DYs will not criticize "one of their own" no matter what offenses to decency another DY may commit.

btw,"the gentleman" is NO gentleman, but rather a FOUL-mouthed, ignorant, LOUT, who (to quote my "duckie") is MORALLY UNFIT to be a FReeper.

btw, reference the FILTHY-talking LOUT (who is one of your correspondants): if he was a burglar, would you think that his thievery was A-OK, if he didn't target your house for a "ripoff"?

it seems to me to be the same thing.
