Before the American Civil War, during slavery times, there was a series of anti-literacy laws that prohibited slaves from learning how to write or read. Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, North and South Carolina, and Virginia passed anti-literacy laws, some of them punished the person who attempted to teach slaves to read and write a fine of 100 pounds and 6 months in prison.

Because of that, once slavery was over and Reconstruction created the Freedmen Bureau, former slaves wanted to read and write and be a part of society.

katovenus [111]

2) ensuring its spiritual regeneration

Philip II himself ordered the Spanish bishops at the Council of Trent to insist on no accommodation ofProtestants. However, the reforms at Trent were less relevant to Spain than elsewhere as Cardinal Ximenes, Charles V and Philip II had ensured that Spain remained thoroughly Catholic. Philip II also insisted that Spain’s representatives were present at the provincial councils of the church but there was no real urgency in Spain for reform as it obviously was not needed.
