What were the major factors that contributed to the demographic changes in the English colonies during the eighteenth century quizlet?

In the New England colonies, the Puritans built their society almost entirely on the precepts of the Bible. The Puritans, in particular, valued education, because they believed that Satan was keeping those who couldn't read from the scriptures.

In the middle colonies, a variety of local religious groups ran most schools in the middle colonies and stressed the practical aspects of education. All boys learned a skill or trade. Depending on their social class, they might also study classical languages, history and literature, mathematics, and natural science. Girls were tutored at home in a variety of household and social skills.

In the southern colonies, children generally began their education at home. Because the distances between farms and plantations made community schools impossible, plantation owners often hired tutors to teach boys math, classical languages, science, geography, history, etiquette, and plantation management.

These publications told people about what was happening and contributed to social life. Poor Richard's Almanack was popular because it helped answer many everyday questions people might wonder. It also served as a calendar.
