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.
Slavery in America began when the first African slaves were brought to the North American colony of Jamestown, Virginia, in 1619, to aid in the production of such lucrative crops as tobacco. Slavery was practiced throughout the American colonies in the 17th and 18th centuries, and African-American slaves helped build the economic foundations of the new nation.
