Answer:

Because education was completely denied to slaves before their Emancipation and it was on the basis of lack of education, and schooling, that opposers to the Civil Rights Acts, argued that African Americans could not be allowed to vote, which basically, placed them underneath the level of citizens.

Explanation:

Before the Civil War, before slaves were emancipated, one thing that was always denied to them was the access to any kind of schooling, or education. Most slaves were unable to read or write, and there were very few the cases in which this was not so. After the Civil War, and through the Civil Rights Acts, the United States attempted to give a more equal treatment to freed slaves, and bring them into their rightful place as citizens. However, segregationists, and those who opposed an equal treatment for African Americans, especially when it came to voting, used the argument of lack of education to support their cause of not letting African Americans be treated equally. They were considered inferior, because they were also seen as less smart than white people. This is why the subject of schooling and public education, became tantamount to the African American cause.

How was education during the Renaissance shaped by humanism
lisov135 [29]
The Renaissance was a period of rebirth after a period of darkness filled with plagues and feudalism. The Black Death contributed to the humanism aspect by making people deny God because of all these terrible plagies. Education especially through humanism was looked at differently. Previously, education was administered by the Church where priests would get the education for religious texts. Humanism however was centering humans on education. Different science advancements were encouraged by humanists. Humanists encouraged philosophy, poetry and to essentially teach their ideas. Many Humanist schools were created and education impacted the elites and church members. They focused on liberal arts and combined Christian elements.
