Education during the slave period in the United States information


Phillis Wheatley frontispiece 1834

During the era of slavery in the United States, the education of enslaved African Americans, except for religious instruction, was discouraged, and eventually made illegal in most of the Southern states. After 1831 (the revolt of Nat Turner), the prohibition was extended in some states to free blacks as well. Even if educating Blacks was legal, they still had little access to education, in the North as well as the South.

For schooling during the Civil War see Education of freed people during the Civil War. After the war see Black school.
