What educational developments occurred in the American South during the colonial period?

In the first half of the 17th century, a group of British immigrants came to southern America. Most of the immigrants were farmers and some landowners who were Anglicans. Their main purpose of immigrating to America is to make money and get rich, and they are not interested in sectarian disputes and how to preserve and develop British culture. After the introduction of tobacco and black slaves in the south, many people became wealthy and became wealthy plantation owners. The education of plantation owners’ children inherited the gentleman’s education model transplanted from England. They hired tutors to provide their children with preparatory education before university. When the children grew up, they sent them to public schools and universities in England. Planters also generally had a rich collection of books in their homes to provide for personal education needs. In 1693, the College of William and Mary was established in the south. Its main purpose was to provide religious education. It initially only provided secondary education, but later developed, but most of the children of the upper class still went to England to receive higher education. Charitable elementary schools were opened in society for orphans and the poorest children, the purpose of which was to prevent these children from becoming social burdens or heretics in the future. Teaching only imparts the minimum knowledge of life and religion. There are also some apprenticeship-style education. The children of poor people receive clothing, food, housing, and some religious knowledge and education in reading and writing in the craftsmen's homes. At the same time, they do various labor and housework for the masters for free until they are about 20 years old. From then on, apprenticeship became almost the only way of education for the lower class in the South.
