Definition
- The American colonies were established by settlers from Europe who sought religious freedom that had been denied to them in their homelands. When the first colonial towns were created, local schools became mandatory under the Old Deluder Satan Law of 1647, which required that children attend school so that they could learn to read the Bible.
