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.

How is the structure of Congress different under the Articles of Confederation & the Constitution?
77julia77 [94]
Articles of Confederation: Unicameral Legislature; Constitution: Bicameral Legislature

The structure of Congress during the Articles of Confederation was weak, as the Continental Congress created it like that with the intention of not having a monarchy like Britain’s. The Articles of Confederation had a unicameral legislature, with each state having only one vote, regardless of population.
The Constitution made congress have a bicameral legislature and three branches of government (legislative, judicial, and executive) to ensure that the congress and government wouldn’t have too much power.
