The Civil War changed who were eligible to receive an education. During the antebellum years, educating slaves had been strictly forbidden, because an educated mind is one that will not continue to be enslaved. So, following the abolition of slavery, blacks represented a large body of citizens who were illiterate. To solve this problem, schools were established that would teach blacks.
