Definition

  • Among the forces that influenced British colonial life in America were an increased momentum for political self-determination, religious expression, and social change; and a desire to educate colonial children according to the principles of English society. To achieve the desired outcomes of these forces would require the unwavering commitment of every resident, all government officers, all church elders, and every parent.
