This is part of a project i am doing but i came along the answer and i thought i would answer it:

In the 1800's the blind were seen as useless people who had nothing they could contribute to the community. Sometimes people would even go as far as to not think of them as humans. It was believed that they constantly needed a properly trained caretaker at all times. Also many of them were put in homes for the mentally disabled. This, as we know, is not where they belong, because they are able to think, and can be very smart. People assumed because they were different from the average human that they could not function like them. This, as we know, is not true, and was a very bad stereotype that, luckily, is pretty much gone. Some of the Blind were treated well, and given an education, but the numbers were very small.
