No offence, but your comment is quite racist.
> literacy rates among whites were not much different than they are today. It is one of the bright spots of American history;
The rates only looked okay if you cut out at least 20% of thr population?

Yeah, it was okay in New England but many states had laws preventing slave education.
It’s racist to break out statistics along what was literally the single most determinative factor for life outcomes in antebellum America?
