Public Education.
In colonial times, the Puritans had started a town school system financed by local taxes in parts of New England. In the 1840s, Horace Mann (1796-1859) promoted the idea of public primary school for all children. As the first secretary of the Massachusetts Board of Education, Horace Mann also founded the first school for the training of teachers Soon, the idea of public education caught on.
By 1850, most children in the well populated parts of the North attended public elementary schools. Most states in other sections of the Country had at least a couple elementary schools. Many people called the new schools free schools because parents did not have to pay tuition; but all taxpayers had to pay taxes
to help support the schools. The public schools of the 19th century gave students a good foundation in Reading, Writing, Arithmetic, History, Literature, The Sciences, and Basic Morality. Many of the teachers were Christians, and the textbooks were usually written by people who understood and believed the basic teachings of the Bible. Students also read and memorized the works of many American poets and authors.
Today in the year of 2011, they continue to leave out even more of proper morals in schools. They leave out the most important thing, which is trusting and believing in the Bible and Jesus!
So that's why there is such awful things that happen in some public schools like, bulling, suicide, unplanned teen pregnancies, drug and alcohol abuse, homosexuality and Shootings.
They now teach Sex Ed and Etc.....The schools are no longer like they were in the 1850s,
God and the Bible were thrown out because the U.S has become more liberal in their thinking, without concern for Biblical values and morals.
That is why, my parents Home-school me so I don't pick up any of that junk!
I am very greatful that I do not witness those horrific things or tragedies first hand.
Thank you, for reading!!

The history of Farm Families and Plantations.
Hey Everyone,
Today I am, going to talk about my subject's in History.
Which are Family Farms and Plantations.
Family Farms.
In 1850, more than 80 percent of America's 23 million people still lived on farms or in small towns.
A farmer faced many challenges in the farming life. But thankfully for the inventions it made plowing and farming a lot easier, Some of the inventions are the Steel Plow, Reaper, and Combine.
Farm Families worked hard to make a living, and each family member did his share of chores
Farm life, though busy, was seasoned with fun and laughter and offered many rewards, including
abundant food, safe surroundings, close family ties, and the satisfaction of a job well done.
At the close of the day, families often read stories and sang together; many families finished the day with Bible reading and prayer time.
The farm provided a number of places for children to romp and play after their chores were completed. When wheather permitted, they played outdoors in the orchards, pastures, and woods.
On a rainy day, they might play hide-and-seek in the barn. Between work an play, farm childern never ran out of things to do.
Steel plow
The Reaper.
The combine.
Plantation.
Though most lived on small farms, some Southern families managed large plantations
which used slave labor to produce cash crops such as Tobacco, Rice, Sugar cane, and Cotton.
Whereas farm famliles did all of the physical labor themselves, the plantation family supervised
the labor and managed the production and sale of their crops. Most plantation owners valued their slaves and treated them well.
The men managed the slaves in the field, while the woman supervised the household slaves.
Why do, you think it was great to live in that time?
Leave me a comment anwsering my questian.
Thank you, for reading have a great day!
P.S
It would be great to live in those times because everyone worked with eachother
and had bonding time!
And there was never a moment of boredom, for the children they alway's kept busy!
