Question

T/F during the colonial period of american history 90% of people could read and write?

Answer 1

False:

Cremin was a professor at Columbia University. His research indicated

that literacy among adult white males was 70 to 100 percent in

Colonial America versus 48 to 74 percent in England.

Answer 2

I would say false since there were few schools and it was more of an agriculture society especially in the South.
