They didnt want them to read because they were ment for working and doing all the stuff that they were told to and because they would be smart
It was not against the "law", technically, to teach slaves to read. It was, however, against a certain etiquette followed by most slaveholders. This etiquette was known as the Slave Codes, which ensured that slaves would be treated as property as they were thought to be, instead of being treated like people. One rule of the Slave Codes was that slaves could not be taught to read, or it was rather suggested against the notion, because it was believed among many slaveholders that slaves taught to read or write would become intelligent and find a way to outsmart their masters. In short, it was all because of envy and greediness. :/ Hope it helped! Ari
Slave owners feared that educated slaves would be more likely to rebel or escape, as education can lead to awareness of one's rights and abilities. Keeping slaves uneducated also reinforced the power dynamic, making it easier for owners to control and exploit them.
Mississippi law placed restrictions on slaves by prohibiting them from gathering in groups, teaching slaves to read and write, and moving about without permission from their owners. Slaves were also subject to harsh punishments for disobedience or attempting to escape.
Besides no longer being someone else's property, freed slaves could learn to read and write (it was against the law in most slave states), vote, own property, have legally recognized marriages, raise their own children without an owner being able to sell them away, travel on their own without a master's permission, be counted fully in the census, earn money from their own labor and keep it, and generally have all the day to day rights we take for granted now. While slavery was the law of the land, freedmen could own their own slaves. Also, while it was legal, in some slave states it was against the law to free a slave at all.
As of the 2020 Census, Alabama does not have any legal slaves. The practice of slavery was abolished in the United States with the passage of the 13th Amendment to the Constitution in 1865. Alabama's population consists of citizens and residents who have rights and protections under the law.

Slaves were taught about Christ but they were not taught traditional Sunday school. It was against the law to teach a slave to read or write so I would think the answer to your question would be no.

Fugitive slave law

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.
