It was illegal.
It would make them misfit for work
Slaves in the South were not allowed to learn to read or write, gather in groups without supervision, or leave their owner's property without permission. They also were prohibited from owning property, carrying weapons, or testifying in court against a white person.
Teaching slaves to read and write was seen as a threat to the system of slavery because it could empower them to communicate, organize, and potentially rebel against their owners. Slave owners feared that education would lead to slaves questioning the institution of slavery and seeking freedom.
In some civilizations, it was illegal for slaves to be literate, while in others, some slaves were able to learn how to read and write. The ability to read and write among slaves varied widely depending on the time period, location, and individual circumstances.
