SHORT ESSAY: Choose one of the options below. Respond in a brief essay of one or two paragraphs (8
points).
OPTION 1: Analyze the inuence of the Second Great Awakening on social reform movements, including
educational reform.
OPTION 2: In what way does the phrase “except in the South” apply to the development of education in
America?
OPTION 3: Why were anti-literacy laws passed in the South?
The anti-literacy law was passed in the South to help ensure that the disadvantage of black people
remained high. They knew that with education came power, and the ability to read was a signicant step in
the direction of human rights. This is why, in 1849, the General Assembly of the Commonwealth of Virginia
passed a series of Anti-Literacy Laws. When seeing the effects of the church teaching literacy to both
white and black children, they could not stand the feeling of change threatening their way of life. The Nat
Turner Rebellion says these "acts" of teaching children to read are dangerous. Giving black people the right
to read is the gateway to giving them the ability to ght back against the injustices. The leaders passing
the laws wanted to stop black people from reading by threatening jail time to those who taught them. They
could still be a part of the church and hear the story orally, but they could not be taught to read. Many still
fought against these laws and continued to teach blacks to read, and the most notable one was Margaret
Douglass. Who claimed that she thought it was for slaves and not freed blacks. Having the power to read
is crucial to understanding your rights and the injustices to them; this is why teachers strive so hard to
ensure all students can read. When passing this law, the lawmakers wanted to ensure they held the power
and took the chances of a better life away from those they oppressed.
