The style and accent of Gullah can be traced back to the pidgin English of West African slave traders. This simplified, or pidgin, English is still spoken by West African traders today. The slave trade spread pidgin english throughout the Caribbean Islands and the southern US and became the basis for Plantation Criole. Plantation Creole sounds very much like Gullah, with common words such as voodoo and nitty-gritty. Black house servants learned to speak a form of English that sounded more like the Master's English as a way to advance themselves socially and economically. Southern Whites had the r-less accent of southern England which became modified by the speech patterns of Plantation Creole, creating the Charleston accent of the southern White aristocracy. Many southern, aristocratic boys were sent to schoool in England to learn"proper English" so that they would not embarrass their families by speaking Plantation Creole. Southern, aristocratic girls were tipically not educated and so kept the Plantation Creole sound in their speech. Southern, Black English spread to the North of America with the migration of Blacks to northern regions.

This sentiment is echoed by many educators, both Black and white. Black rap musicians are currently the foremost disseminators of Black English into the mainstream Us culture.
