What was Frederick Douglass' education?
When Frederick Douglas was a child in Maryland, state law prohibited teaching a slave to read or write. The wife of his master secretly taught him the alphabet, and he taught himself to read.At a time when slaves were not allowed to learn how to read and write, Frederick Douglass had some very good people in his life. They ignored the law and helped him in his quest for knowledge. Initially, his masterâ??s wife, taught him to read, but after admonishments from her husband this ended. However, white boys young Frederick could play with when his chores were done, were willing to give him â??Lessonsâ?? sometimes in exchange for a biscuit he had pilfered from the kitchen. Based on these early influences and his own thirst for knowledge, Frederick became an acclaimed writer and journalist.
Why did Frederick Douglass's mistress chand her mind about teaching him to read?

If they were capable to read, they could find out how despairing their situation was, If they were capable to write, they could write about what they felt and what they think and spread among their people, then people would go together and do something that their master did not want to see. That was the role of education played in terms of control and oppression.

Why werent enslaved children not allowed to attend school?
The moment a slave child was born they were property and many were sold away from their parents as young as 2 years old. Slaves were also prohibited by law to learn to read and write. A person who taught slaves to read could be fined or jailed. The main reason this was this way is because if you want to keep people as slaves you don't want them to be able to read, think, or write ideas. Hitler when he invaded Poland closed all the schools, killed the teachers, and didn't want the children to learn because he saw it as a slave state. So, the southern slave child couldn't go to school nor learn to read or write. They were meant to be slaves ONLY.
