Answer:

The law forbids educating slaves

Step-by-step explanation:

Clotee keeps her knowledge a secret, even from Aunt Tee, revealing her skills only in her journal she keeps hidden in the woods. When Mr. Harms (Mark Ellis), William’s tutor, tells Clotee he knows her secret, she fears the worst. But later, she spies Mr. Harms in the woods aiding a well-known abolitionist. Everyone’s loyalty is put to the test when Mr. Harms’ motives are betrayed, but some quick thinking by Clotee saves the day.

I REALLY HOPE THIS HELPED!
