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.

timurjin [86]

Answer:

Yes, language and culture would be different, daily life not necessarily so.

Explanation:

If the Spanish had overtaken the Jamestown colony, and had expanded from there to other parts of North America, they would have sent settlers from Spain to promote their language and religion: Spanish and Christian Catholicism, respectively.

The U.S. would still be a Western Nation, but more similar to Latin America than it is right now.

Daily life would not necessarily be that different. The country would have likely industrialized, and then, become a service-based economy, meaning that most people would have more or less the same lifestyle and jobs that they have today.
