History

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.

Pope Leo III crowned Charlemagne as holy Roman emperor. what did this indicate about the Catholic Church?
Elis [28]

The catholic church wanted to share power with the emperor, so the coronation was an occasion to say in a very public way that the right to make a person king was in the hand of the church, thus making the church itself a very powerful entity who could in fact play a crucial role in the balance power of the period, as it was in many occasion.
