Slavery during the antebellum period in the United States did not allow the African American slaves to receive a legal education. The laws and restrictions caused the slaves to ï¬nd other methods in which to educate their young and themselves.
During the years after the war, black and white teachers from the North and South, missionary organizations, churches and schools worked tirelessly to give the emancipated population the opportunity to learn. Former slaves of every age took advantage of the opportunity to become literate.
