During the time of slavery, the slave owners (especially plantation owners) kept meticulous ledgers recording the births, deaths, weddings, sales, etc. of their slaves. After the end of slavery, the slaves had no access to these records before they dispersed throughout the country. And since they had no calendars on which to mark these events, they had no way of knowing these dates for themselves.

Why weren't the slaves' birthdays recorded?
The slaves' birthdays were not recorded primarily because they were considered property and not granted legal rights or recognition as individuals. Recording their birthdays would have challenged the system of slavery by acknowledging their humanity and individuality. Additionally, the oppressive conditions of slavery made it difficult for slaves to keep track of their own birthdays, and slave owners had little incentive to document this information.
Why did slaveowners not tell their slaves their birthday?
Salve owners did not tell slaves their birthdays as they did not deem it to be important. Slave owners thought sharing this information with slaves was improper.
