Question

The Deslondes rebellion terrified white southerners more than any other slave revolt and led to a statewide mandate that all white children must learn to read.

Answer 1

The Deslondes rebellion terrified white southerners more than any other slave revolt. It is a false statement.

Explanation:

The southern whites were mostly horrified by Nat Turner's Rebellion. Literacy of the white children was controlled by the Virginia legislature.

Nat Turner's Rebellion took place in Virginia, in August 1831. Nat Turner's Rebellion restricted the slaves from learning and also prohibited them from gathering for religious meetings. The literacy rate of the slaves was completely reduced.

The culture of fear was increased in Virginia and later it was spread to the rest of the South. The fear caused by Nat Turner's Rebellion was the major source of the Civil War.
