This significant historical study delves into the nuanced role played by education in shaping the identity of the United States from its era as a collection of British colonies to the formation of the nation as we know it. A vital, multifaceted portrait of the educational landscape is painted in this work. Schools during this period were primarily religious institutions and were not particularly numerous. The lack of widespread, accessible education, coupled with inadequate transportation infrastructure, and the scarcity of newspapers, impacted literacy in the young nation. Nonetheless, the author finds that the push for secularization grew and was indicative of broader social shifts and changes in perception, particularly as it related to poverty. As the nation grew and solidified its institutions, the role of education and the recognition of the impact of the lack thereof became more apparent. This book captures the complexities of the era with insights that are every bit as relevant to the present day.
