Clause 28 prohibited enslaved people from beating drums or using other loud instruments for diversion after ten at night, while penalizing owners who knowingly permitted it. Clause 33 separately policed meetings for dancing and other activities at unlawful hours. These clauses reveal colonial anxiety about collective social and cultural life; they do not prove that music or African-derived practices ceased. (Consolidated Slave Act, clause(s) 28 and 33.)
