Question

How did North Carolina make advancements in education just after the American Revolution?

Answer 1

Answer:

Schools did not spring up in the area we now call North Carolina as they did in colonies like Maryland or Virginia. In most American colonies, people came from Europe with the intention of establishing organized, planned communities and towns.

However, the settlers who drifted down into Carolina were mainly from Virginia and the northern colonies and were primarily seeking good farmland. These family farmers, who were known as yeomen, worked hard to develop small, self-sufficient farms and relied on their children to help work on those farms.
