Consider the schools in the Southern colonies-Maryland, Virginia, the Carolinas and Georgia-during the colonial period. Which of the following statements is most valid?
◦ The colonies were religiously diverse, so each colony created parochial schools for the children of the colony.
◦ Because many people lived on plantations that were long distances from each other, parents hired tutors to educate their children.
◦ Because many people lived and worked in agriculture, education was more egalitarian than in the Middle and Northern colonies.
◦ Education focused primarily on religious training, which was grounded in the belief that humanity was evil, by its nature, having fallen in the sin of Adam and Eve.
