Hey!

This week in history we are studying the thirteen colonies and the lives of the colonists. Today I will be comparing and contrasting my life to the life in the colonial era. For example, the education was different. The wealthy planters usually hired teachers to teach their younger children, the older children were often sent to schools in cities far away, for even England, for a better education. Religion was one of the most important things in their life. It is similar and different to our lives. It is similar because their were many different religions, but it differs from us because they had to travel many, many miles to find a place to have religious freedom. There family life was usually different from ours as well. That is because the man usually worked and the woman stayed home to clean and cook (if they had no slaves working for them).
