Why did the puritans believe in educating everyone? so they could become farmers so they could read newspapers so they could write home to england so they could read the bible

The correct answer is D) so they could read the Bible

Explanation:

The Puritans were a Christian sect that believe that the Catholics had strayed away from the true message of the bible. Originally from middle England, the group developed a distinctive group and religious gatherings. The aim was to 'Purify' the Christian faith, hence the name Puritans.

This unique culture lead them to believe in the importance of education at a time when very few people could actually read and write. Most of the educated people were the clergy, who then, held a lot of power over the common man.

Puritans believed that an educated person could read and study the bible better and eventually turn into a better person. This would also help them differentiate between the true teachings of Christ and the false ones which were being delivered by the clergy.

d.

many people believed they were convicted solely because they were anarchists.
