No. It was against the law to teach a slave to read or write. What many people don't realize is that many of the slaves were all ready educated people in their own country and some had been military commanders as well. One of the things about slavery is that the person who owns slaves doesn't want a slave to be able to think and have critical skills to be able to fight the state of slavery.
