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.

Terms like "angry" or "exciting" that announce the speaker's attitude point to which quality of troublesome language?

mixas84 [53]

These words point the "relative words" category in troublesome language. In other words, the overuse of these words will lead to the receptor losing the track of the original thought or idea which the speaker wants to point out. Relative words, make it harder for the receptor of the speech to get hold of the main argument that the speaker wants to single out.

It's Your Decision- What Would You Do?

Rainbow [258]

If I were the coach....

To me this would be a hard decision to make. The football team, the school, and the community would be affected by this decision if you choose to take Robbie out (and most likely lose the game) or if you keep Robbie in (and most likely win the game). Because as a football coach or any leader in general I would try to be a good example to kids and not support bad behavior, if Robbie's actions go against my philosophy as a coach and my team rules, I would take him out of the game. Though this choice might come with an outcome of losing the game, this experience should teach the football players that I won't reward bad behavior.
