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.

AT&T held a monopoly in the US and Canada, throughout most of the 20th century. AT&T was the owner of the Bell System, a network of telecommunications companies which included Western Union Telegraph. For many years the slogan of the company was "One Policy, One System, Universal Service."

However antitrust regulators were not happy with AT&T and in 1974, the United States Justice Department opened a case against the company, arguing they were violating the antitrust law. This case was settled in 1982, and the company was order to break up. Hence AT&T was divided into seven Regional Bell Operating Companies.

This particular passage makes part of a document known as the Indian Removal Act of 1830 that was signed by U.S President Andrew Jackson. The point of this Act was to give the President of the United States leeway to make use of unsettled lands, with existing state borders, that lay west of the Mississippi river, to establish Indian citizens who gave up their lands peacefully for white settlement. One of the consequences of this Act was the famous Trail of Tears, which literally defined the forceful removal of the Cherokee tribes and the death of several of their members as they were moved to the west.

One research question that might arise from this particular passage is how the United States government at the time managed to control the conflicts that were arising between the Native Americans and the white people who were settling inside the territories of the Indians, particularly the Cherokee. This document helps to answer the question as it literally shows us what were the measures that the U.S government resorted to to resolve the issue in their favor and in detriment of the Native American tribes.
