In the system of slavery, no slaves were allowed to learn how to read or write. it was for the purpose of control. 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.
