Slave masters and those in power didn't want their slaves to have an education for a couple of reasons:
1. They wanted to keep the better jobs (which generally required more education) among the white population.
2. An educated slave would have more power to revolt against their masters, and they would be able to communicate their rebellious ideas through books and letters rather than by word of mouth.

It was a crime bc if they learned how to read or write they would be intelligent, and have more power. they would try escaping or outsmarting the owners.

How do we determine that decisions we make it’s “rational”

loris [4]

Rational decision making is a multi-step process for making choices between alternatives. The process of rational decision making favors logic, objectivity, and analysis over subjectivity and insight. The word “rational” in this context does not mean sane or clear-headed as it does in the colloquial sense.
