How is education related to human freedom, in the autobiography of Frederick Douglass?

Education was probably what was stopping the slaves from revolting. They were not educated enough to know about what life was like when you're not someone's property. If the slaves were not educated it would be much easier for the masters to control them. If slaves were educated, like Mr. Douglass, they would have a higher chance of escaping, because they would think it through and not just run. You could also think of freedom of the mind with this. If slaves were educated they would have a higher chance of not giving in to propaganda from their masters. Their masters could tell them that they are being treated great and they might believe it, unless they were educated.
