Sorry, I don't have time to find the quotes but I can give you a general answer. Slave owners knew that knowledge was power. They didn't want their slaves to think for themselves. They needed their slaves to remain ignorant. Education is power-the power to organize; the power to change laws; the power to revolt. Many slave owners did not have an education themselves.
