Most slaves were never educated. Some slaves were educated with what little there parent knew. If they were lucky enough to have generous masters, they would teach them there selfs. Eda didn't learn anything educational but her master took care of all his slaves by giving them food and clothing. Broussard never said if he was never educated in reading and writing, but he did say that he learned some of the prayers in the bible through the teaching of the masters wife. Lewis was given to his previous masters daughter were she taught them how to read and write She also taught them how to knit so they could make there own clothes. There weren't any schools for slaves so harper never learned how to read or write till he was freed and even then
