 * __Question 1-__** The reason why religion was important to the colonists was because if they did not follow it, they thought that they would die.The people believed in a single, powerful creator and ghosts and spirits. They delighted in dancing and story-telling. On Sunday's, church meetings were held with spirituals and many prayers.

__**Question 2-**__ There were a number of ways people were educated. To start off, m any children of this time received no formal schooling because their parents saw no need for the ideas taught in school, and they could not afford to pay for it, either way. The children, as did the majority of colonial children at that time period, learned instead by watching and imitating parents and brothers and sisters and through hearing stories told by their relatives and other elders in the community. They learned at home as time and the growing season permitted — usually after dark, between chores, or during the winter months.Through this manner of learning, known as informal learning, the majority of the colony’s children learned what they needed to know to live in the agricultural society of this time. They learned, for example, how to plant and when to harvest crops, how to build and maintain farms, and how to care for families. The first known school teacher in Carolina was Charles Griffin. Griffin opened a school in the northeastern corner of the colony in the year of 1705. Children were often taught at home by tutors if they didn't attend, as well as religious leaders.


 * __Question 3-__ ** The reason why slavery occurred in the Carolina colonies was because they needed help when it comes to agriculture and harvesting, so that they can have all kinds of surplus. Also, dangerous chores were placed for the slaves. Slaves can definitely make that big business for colonies to make money because of the many important things they do for the colonists, such as farming. Slavery in Carolina started back in 1492 when Christopher Columbus believed that Indians would serve as a slave labor force for Europeans. By the late 1700's, the slaves, which were African American, were a big part of the population of South Carolina as the cotton plantations grew. South Carolina would have been a huge center for rice, tobacco, and indigo production. Also the colony's plantation owners were one of the wealthiest people in all of the colonies.
