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.

According to evolutionary theory, how does a new species develop?
____ [38]

Organisms (belonging to the same species) may adapt in different ways to better exploit different environments or resources-- survival of the fittest. They also may evolve varied characteristics for attracting mates for reproduction. This means that different groups evolve differently. Over time, these groups or populations may become so different that they can no longer breed together -- and separate species are formed.
