To keep it in order.
Slave owners wanted to keep their slaves ignorant of life outside the plantation to maintain control and prevent unrest. By limiting their access to education and information, slave owners could ensure that slaves remained compliant and focused solely on their assigned work, reducing the risk of rebellion or escape. Furthermore, education was seen as a threat to the institution of slavery as it could empower slaves to question their oppression and seek freedom.
