Correct Answer Is: B. they were forbidden in many states to learn to read and write.

  • During the 18th and 19th centuries, this was a typical limitation imposed on free African Americans in various regions of the United States. It was feared that if they had an education, they would become more autonomous and challenging to manage. Also, several states enacted legislation that made it unlawful to instruct slaves in reading and writing. Nonetheless, despite these limitations, a lot of free Black Americans managed to get an education by using private methods like hiring tutors or enrolling in secret schools.

  • Their limited access to education was one of the main restrictions put on free African Americans in the United States. Throughout the 18th and 19th centuries, several states passed legislation restricting or outlawing the education of Black Americans out of concern that such a population would become more autonomous and, thus, harder to manage. For free Black Americans, this presented enormous obstacles to their social and economic advancement.

  • Free African Americans faced numerous other forms of discrimination and restrictions on their rights, in addition to restrictions on their access to education, such as limitations on where they could live and work, limitations on their ability to own property or vote, and limited access to legal protections. Also, they were subject to laws and practises that discriminated against them, depriving them of legal equality.

  • Notwithstanding these obstacles, free Black Americans made major contributions to American civilization and many of them actively participated in the fight to abolish slavery and achieve civil rights.
