Teaching Puritan Life

Puritan Life

New England life seemed to burst with possibilities.\n\nThe life expectancy of its citizens became longer than that of Old England, and much longer than the Southern English colonies. Children were born at nearly twice the rate in Maryland and Virginia. It is often said that New England invented grandparents, for it was here that people in great numbers first grew old enough to see their children bear children.\n\n
