They did not need it to work the fields and they might escape if they learn to read and gain intelligence. A written paper saying you were free would allow them to gain transportation on a train and escape to Canada or Mexico .

They were not taught to read, because the slave owners do not want the slaves escaping knowing how to navigate.

Why do some historians question Marco Polo's veracity?
kkurt [141]

Answer:

The historians doubt Marco Polo's veracity of venturing into deep of China and Mongol as his accounts leave certain main descriptions such as the Great Wall of China, tea drinking, binding of women's feet, etc.

Explanation:

Marco Polo was an adventurer of the 13th century, who believed to have ventured across Asia. The accounts of his adventure to Asia is written in his travelogue which is published under the title 'The Travels of Marco Polo.'

Marco Polo ventured into the land of China through a route which later came to be known as Silk Route. Some historians like Frances Wood, questioned reliablity of Marco Polo's venture into China on the account of missing descriptions about China.

They argued, that, if Marco Polo did really explored into deep of China and Mongol region then how did he not mention about the Great Wall of China. And the most baleful practice of binding of women's feet. And the tradition of drinking tea.

So how many laws were passes in the last two years apporximately in california?
beks73 [17]
In 2016, California passed 900 new laws. In 2015, there were 930 new laws. About 900 laws will be passed in 2017 as well. 
So, if you are counting only 2015, and 2016, there were approximately 1830 new laws in those past two years only in California. Not all of them are good, not all of them made people happy, but it is not the people who decide about this, unfortunately (or perhaps fortunately?).
