I'm not completely sure on this. There was a variety of factors, but I think your best answer here would be "ASL being simplified and making it easier to learn and teach." However, the answer could also be "A change in social climate that was more accepting of differences in people."
During the time, there was a slight shift in social acceptance, but it would, in my mind, make more sense for the other choice to be true, I only hesitate on this because there were slight developments in spelling ASL that allowed easier teacher, child, and parent communication through the use of spelling in sign, though ASL itself did not undergo major reconstruction, but rather had additions made to it

Explanation:
As a general rule, slaves who were incorporated into the revolutionary forces or participated in wars, were made to open trenches, obstruct roads, knocking down trees and move them along with stones to prevent the enemy from passing through the roads. They built primitive fortifications and barricades, they also worked in the kitchens chopping wood and in other secondary works.
In addition, the testimonies about the slaves in the liberating ranks always place them in auxiliary occupations such as making trenches, they are never mentioned with firearms, and as a general rule they were watched. A Spaniard who had joined the insurgents in the Seville camp says that there were: “about thirty black men who took to make trenches
Testimonies like these are usual with respect to slaves. For the Mambises the status of slaves of these men placed it on a lower scale than that of the free blacks and mulattos. The social and moral degeneration, caused by slavery, created doubts among the liberators regarding the use of these men in tasks of trust.
The southern states were primarily where segregation resided. The South was home to the Confederation as well, and promoted slavery. Many slaves used the Underground Railroad to escape to the North, where this problem was not as prominent.
