Why was literacy for slaves threat to slave owners

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.

Paha777 [63]

Answer

2. Mining rested on the white American talent for claiming legitimacy

3. Created a rapid urbanization kind of settlement

Explanation

There was a friction between miners and Indians during the rush for Gold mining that resulted into the displacement of the natives. Mining in California rested on the white American talent for claiming legitimacy. This is to say that most of them were newcomers yet it did not prevent them from claiming legitimacy of the place as occupants ignoring natives that had the right to local resources. Mining in the west brought concentrated populations, where the mining patterns of settlements turned out to be the future settlement pattern of the region.
