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.
Before the Civil War, most southern states made it illegal to educate slaves, but many enslaved people did learn to read and write. During the post-Civil War Reconstruction era, the number of schools and the literacy rate for African Americans increased dramatically.
