History
1 answer:
charle [14.2K]3 years ago
8 0

The white Americans didn't want the slaves to learn how to read and write because if they did the slaves would've read the bible and knew that it was about them.

They would've known that Africa was the motherland and that they were the first people on earth and that they were worth more than the white Americans told them.  The white Americans wanted to control the slaves and keep them in fear of them that's why they beat them every time they caught a slave trying to read it. Even when the slave pastors would try to have church the white Americans would tell them what to preach and if they didn't do as they said the white Americans would beat them or even kill them.

The benefits of a democratic system are:

  • The people can choose their representatives in government.
  • The rule of law is practiced.

Some periods in which democracy was not beneficial to both Greece and Rome are in periods when it took too long to come to a decision and there were different opposing views.

Some potentially negative aspects of democracy are:

  • A large region can influence the voting patterns based on certain factors and this is not exactly fair representation.
  • Lack of proper political education.

<h3>What is Democracy?</h3>

This simply means the government of the people where the people have the power to elect their leaders and also call for their impeachment or removal if they fail in their duty.
