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.

When Chief Justice Earl Warren stated, “A sense of inferiority affects the motivation of a child to learn,” what was he essentia
natita [175]

That if a child feels inferior, then they will not be able to learn.

This quote is from the Brown v. Board of Education ruling which reversed the Plessy v. Ferguson ruling that "separate did not mean inequality".

Brown v. Board of Education stated that "separate is not equal". The case officially overturned the segregation of students in schools. The quote explains the reasoning behind the decision. Separating students into differing schools, even if they were to have similar access, causes damage. The self-esteem of the students being separated feel lesser and therefore will not be able to perform at the same level. This became the reasoning for desegregation of schools.
