Why was literacy for slaves threat to slave owners

History
1 answer:
charle [14.2K]4 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.

What was the legacy of the haymarket riot among employers
OverLord2011 [107]

Haymarket Square Riot is a rebellion and an outbreak of violence in Chicago on May 4, 1886. Due to the ever-expanding demands for eight-hour working hours, demonstrations were held on the Haymarket market, organized by a group of anarchists. In a controversial judgment, eight men were sentenced, seven were sentenced to death and one to 15 years in prison. This riot brought the greatest damage to the workers' movement in the United States, The Knight of Labor at that time was the biggest and most successful union organization blamed for the incident. Although the public immediately after the incident was on the side of the police and against the workers 'demands, the struggle of the workers' organizations and trade unions continued for the purpose of eight-hour working hours. Thus, the Socialist International decided to hold demonstrations all over the world on May 1, 1890, as a reminder of the dead and condemned anarchists on May 4, 1896, and to continue the struggle to meet the demands of workers.
