1) To prevent the ensl@ved from eating fruits such as apples, pineapples, oranges, cashews, bananas, plantains sugarcanes, etc while harvesting them, they were made to work consistently in all the plantation farms.
2) To stop the ensl@ved from chanting our African spiritual songs. Not only that those spiritual and w@r songs affect the slàve masters, but they also motivated some ensl@ved to rèbel and fìght back not minding losing their lives.
3) To stop ensl@ved from teaching our African local dialects (languages) to their children…whereby destr0yed our dialects, and forced them to learn foreign languages.
Last but not least, to st@rve enslàved as a punishment in the slàve camps. The màsk prevented them from eating or drinking. Sometimes the slàve màsters would f0rced an apple (a whole 
) into the mouths of enslàved before they wore the metal mask on them with the padlocks so that they couldn’t talk.
