The first step in her downward course was in her ceasing to instruct me. She now commenced to practice her husband's precepts. She finally became even more violent in her opposition than her husband himself. She was not satisfied with simply doing as well as he had commanded; she seemed anxious to do better. Nothing seemed to make her more angry than to see me with a newspaper. She seemed to think that here lay the danger. I have had her rush at me with a face made all up of fury, and snatch from me a newspaper, in a manner that fully revealed her apprehension. She was an apt woman; and a little experience soon demonstrated, to her satisfaction, that education and slavery were incompatible with each other.

He wants to show that allowing blacks access to education terrified whites and made them fight it very violently.

The text presented in the question above is an excerpt from "Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass." During the reading of this part of the book, we can see:

When Frederick Douglass was a slave, one of the "mistresses" he worked for tried to teach him to read.
But she was stopped by her husband, who claimed that allowing blacks to read put whites in danger.
He said this because reading gave black people autonomy and allowed them to have access to education, which would make them have enough ideas and knowledge to fight slavery.
This terrified the woman and made her very violent whenever she saw Douglass was reading, as she was afraid.

By presenting this story, Douglass aimed to show how education is powerful and how it can free anyone who is being oppressed, as slaves were oppressed.

But whites were afraid of this and wanted to prevent, at any cost, blacks from having access to education.
