Slaves were denied the ability to read and write because in a way, they would become smarter. There was the fear of an educated black man. Ideas are a powerful thing and it would make them feel inferior to slaves. This, of course, shows the ignorance of white people at that time. In their minds, a slave would rise up against their masters if they were any smarter than they already were.

hey every one I hope this work for every single one of you.

The reason why most slave were denied to read was because most slave owners believed that teaching such skills was useless, if not dangerous. They assumed that slaves had no use for reading in their daily lives, and that literacy would make them more difficult to control, and more likely to run away. In this case slaves were get smarter and run away or obtain knowledge and use it against then. There was the fear of an educated black man. Ideas are a powerful thing and it would make them feel inferior to slaves.
