SHORT ESSAY:
Choose one of the options below. Respond in a brief essay of one or two paragraphs (8
points).
OPTION 1:
Analyze the influence 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?
In order to interpret why anti-literacy laws were passed in the South during this time, there
needs to be context as to why the South and not the North. The laws were designed to protect
slavery. The text states that after Nat Turner Rebellion, previous literacy efforts from Whites
were met with suspicion. This created a fear of Whites that educating Blacks would lead to
more rebellions and therefore might dissolve slavery and their current way of life. They knew
that education would mean more access to communicate more effectively which could lead to
better organization. Though Biblical scriptures were used to educate illiterate individuals, the
focus was on submission and obedience, thus educating outside of this purpose could lead to
enhanced critical thinking and advancement for Blacks. In society, Blacks were not equals to
Whites, and were presumed to show less intellectual capabilities of their counterparts, so
educating them would also diminish this idea that was marketed as to why Blacks had to be
enslaved or dependent on Whites to care for them in an almost infantile state. Though
plantation owners at times allowed their enslaved to become literate, it was primarily for their
benefit as additional skills could lead to additional financial advantages.
