Explanation:
Slaves were kept illiterate by their masters. These masters wanted a submissive and docile army of workers and kept reminding them they were property and nothing else. The slave overseers would make sure that the slave population would be terrorized in many ways such as maiming, killing, raping, and most often whipping. Some slaves were treated so cruelly they were starving and some owners killed them for fun. Thus limited or eliminated their trust with the main government. The abolitionists would fight for abolition of slavery. It ultimately happened during the middle of the 19th century in some countries but some countries freed slaves before that.
