During the era of slavery in the United States, the education of African Americans, enslaved and free, was often discouraged, except for religious instruction, and eventually made illegal in many of the Southern states. It was believed that literacy was a threat to the institution of slavery. First, literacy facilitated knowledge about the successful slave revolution in Haiti of 1791–1804, the end of slavery in the British Empire in 1833, and the writings of abolitionists. Secondly, literacy allowed or potentially allowed slaves better access to information about the Underground Railroad and other routes to freedom.

lidiya [134]

Answer:

Exponential growth

Explanation:

Exponential growth (sometimes called the log phase) is a type of population growth where bacteria are regularly doubling, uninhibited by any limitations such as nutrient availability. During exponential growth, the population will double at each interval of time, and therefore the rate of increase doubles at each interval.

Exponential growth is only part of the life of a bacterial population. Eventually, space/nutrient availability will drop and the waste products will rise, and the growth of the population will cease.
