Here is the map: Questions

1. How was religion important to the colonists? Religion was important to the colonists because many people came to America to search for religious freedom. Their hope was to escape the religious persecution they were facing in their countries. The colonists wanted a chance to worship freely and have an opportunity to choose which religion they wanted to take part in. Although most colonists considered themselves Christians, this did not mean that they lived in a culture of religious unity. Slaves also tried to be Christians.

2. How were people educated and who was? The New England and Puritans valued education, both for the sake of religious study (they demanded a great deal of Bible reading). Both boys and girls attended the elementary schools, and there they learned to read, and write.

3. Why slavery? Slavery has been part of North Carolina’s history since its settlement by Europeans in the late 1600s and early 1700s. Many of the first slaves in North Carolina were brought to the colony from the West Indies or other surrounding colonies, but a significant number were brought from Africa.

In the New England colonies, parents believed that their children should learn about Christianity. To that end, parents taught their children to read so they could read the Bible. And once those kids knew how to read, they could read school books as well. New England villages having more than 100 families set up grammar schools, which taught boys Latin and math and other subjects needed to get into college. And although girls could read, they weren't allowed to go to grammar school or to college.Most schools were private. Students also learned other subjects so they could get into college. School-age kids in the Southern Colonies were taught at home, for the most part, by their parents or by private tutors. When these kids became teenagers, they would then go off to college or to Europe. As in the other colonies, Southern girls did not go to school.
