In the time of slavery in the US was it legal for a white slave owner to teach his slave to read and write?
any one caught helping black people during slavery were jailed or killed by law. Not all white people were slave owners back then. MANY white people tried helping blacks escape. especially white girls, white girls are more kinder and giving then white males. so white women would occasionaly help a slave read,write and possibly escape. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The above is true. Actually, only one Southern family in four owned slaves, mostly rich plantation owners. Before the war, Confederate General Thomas "Stonewall" Jackson ran a school in violation of Virginia law to educate blacks and those of mixed black-white parentage.

Why don't they teach about Jewish involvement in slavery in schools?
Jewish involvement in slavery was typically as followers as opposed to leaders. Jews did not pioneer any new slave-making or slave-transporting mechanisms. This is not to say that Jews were not involved in slavery; in the US Civil War, as many Jews enlisted to defend the Confederacy as fought in the Union forces (roughly 10,000 on each). Jews in the US South defended African-American slavery using the same Hamitic references made by Christian Southerners such as Calhoun. However, when it comes to schools, there is typically only enough time to teach history in broad strokes. Since the Jews were a minority of slaveholders and slave-supporters, they are not mentioned. It's the same way that Jews who fought in the American Revolution are not mentioned. Jews are often not mentioned except when they have a strongly above-average contribution in a particular issue or event.
