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.

Slav-nsk [51]
In his most famous piece of work, The Prince, Niccolò Machiavelli basically wrote a manual on the types of existing principalities, poiniting out the difference between each of them, on the foundations of power and, finally, on the norms of conduct that the one who aspires to be prince must adopt.
According to the author, it was not enough to achieve power; the prince should be able to keep it, and to do so, he would have to be respected by the people, acting accordingly to each circumstance, changing strategies as appropriate. The most famous saying that synthesizes the Machiavellian though is "The ends justify the means", which means that in order to remain in the custody of power (which would be the "end"), the prince is authorized to act in the most convenient manner, not necessarily needing to stick to rigid moral principles and ethical norms.
