Answer to Question 1

ANSWER: The southern colonies were much more dispersed in their population and the politics of slavery provided the advantages for education to the wealthy white plantation owners children.

Answer to Question 2

ANSWER: Answers should include examples of diversity present at the time (such as the different national origins, religions, and cultural values in the various colonies). Because of the divergent ideas, there was no single system of schools. Schools that were predecessors of today's parochial and independent schools were common.
