Abstract:

Although North Carolina developed long before 1860, the educational growth of the region grew slowly during the colonial period due to the slow growth of populations. However, there is evidence of efforts to foster education through the poor law and apprenticeship system which granted guardianship and tuition to many poor and orphaned children.
