Want this question answered?
so they can learn to read and write
No, back then they were still considered slaves.
slaves would fight for their freedom if they could but their masters werent allowing them to read or to write, or leave their masters home, so all the slaves couldnt meet up and make weapons, and make a big army ready. at the time the whites had empowerment over the blacks, and if the blacks got caught leaving they would be wipped, basically they didnt have time, the power, the communication, or the resources.... but the good news is theyre free now
black hawk didnt go to school its a bird they cant talk read or write more less go to school...
Here are a few examples: "I had crossed the line. I was free; but there was no one to welcome me to the land of freedom. I was a stranger in a strange land." - Harriet Tubman "I prayed for freedom for twenty years, but received no answer until I prayed with my legs." - Frederick Douglass "It is not light that we need, but fire; it is not the gentle shower, but thunder. We need the storm, the whirlwind, and the earthquake." - Frederick Douglass
Not sure if this helps. According to KGB in 1860 some 3,000 blacks owned nearly 20,000 black slaves. The facts are only a minority of whites owned slaves while a majority of blacks owned slaves..... Bet you didn't learn that in school.... Me either Yes I did learn it in school. The reason, and only reason black Americans bought black slaves was to give these slaves FREEDOM. Most black slave owners bought their relatives and or friends of relatives in order to keep the families together but to insinuate that black ownership of slaves was to oppress black slaves as the white owners did is ridicules. In the year you write of above, 1860, NO ONE knew slavery would end five years later. Again. The reason these 3000 or so blacks ( ex-slaves themselves who made enough money ) who owned slaves, actually saved enough money to purchase the ownership of their family members and friends in order to keep them safe (free from harm of the white owners) and to keep their family as one unit without ever getting lost in the shuffle of white slave owners who sold family members apart from one another.... GOT IT NOW?
In many historical societies where slavery existed, slaves were often prohibited from learning to read and write as a means of maintaining control and power over them. However, there were some instances where slaves managed to acquire these skills in secret or through clandestine means.
The Stono Rebellion was a slave rebellion that began September 9, 1739, inSouth Carolina.21 whites and 44 blacks were killed. Nearly 80 slaves escaped and headed for South Florida where the Spanish promised freedom for any slaves escaping from the British colonies.They were captured by the militia before they reached Florida.The leader of the rebelling slaves could read and write - Apex
no he didnt
very sloppy bc they didnt really know how to write
yes, he also wrote "The Cat Jumped Across The Years" which is a book about a black person fighting for his freedom in a town of whites that don't accept him and his race.
he didnt write it......
