So those people who did teach slaves to read and helped slaves to escape were doing wrong? Both actions were serious criminal offences at the time.
For what it is worth if I'd been around at the time I would have been ashamed of myself if I hadn't taught slaves to read, or to escape. And though I may well have been sorry if I'd been caught - until I was lynched - I hope I wouldn't have been sorry for doing either action.
