Which statement best describes why slaves were not taught to read?

History
1 answer:
Andreyy893 years ago
3 0

The second alternative is correct (B).

Slaveowners saw these people as a private good that should satisfy their wants and make a profit. Education is a tool of liberation. People with access to information have a greater capacity to defend themselves and to claim rights. In this context, it was not interesting for owners to provide any kind of education to slaves. Moreover, the time that slaves would use to learn to read would be lost during working hours. Unfortunately this was a reality that is part of our history.

Both the Ninth and Tenth Amendments are designed to _____ the power of the federal government.
kobusy [5.1K]

Both the Ninth and Tenth Amendments are designed to <u>LIMIT</u> the power of the federal government.

The Ninth Amendment (1791) contained a Bill of Rights to protect the individual's right and limit the central government, stating that the rights addressed weren't final and didn't deny or disparage the existence of other unenumerated rights, retained by the people.

As for the Tenth Amendment (1791), it granted the powers that the Constitution neither delegated to the federal government nor prohibited to the states, to the states, which basically meant that the states could establish their own laws as long as they weren't contrary to the federal government's laws.

How did the Middle East change as a result of World War I?
Luden [163]
The losses in the Middle East were staggering: the war not only ravaged the land and decimated armies, it destroyed whole societies and economies. In this way, the experience of World War I in the Middle East is perhaps more akin to the experience of World War II in Europe.
