Slavery Cont.• Slaves were denied an education• "In Louisiana the penalty for teaching slaves to read and

write is one year's imprisonment."• "In North Carolina, the patrols were colored to search every

negro house for books or prints of every kind. Bibles and hymn books were particularly mentioned."
