Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

During colonial times, especially in the Southern plantations where families were often isolated and communities were spread out, children of wealthy families were typically educated at home. This education was provided by traveling scholars, local ministers, or tutors hired by the family. Public or community-supported schools were rare in the South during this period, and the Anglican Church, while influential, did not run small local schools in the same way as in some other areas. Boarding schools in large towns were not the norm for young children in the Southern colonies.
