Answer:

Education was a vital part of life in the New England colonies.

Step-by-step explanation:

Th is was partially due to the Puritan belief that of God's word the Bible could lead to the devil tricking and taking advantage of the ignorant, so they made sure their children learned to read.

I hope this answers your question
