It has been said that The New England Primer was the most
influential textbook in history. This text, written by Benjamin Harris
in 1690, was used to teach reading. School in the 1700s was heavily
influenced by religion. The common belief was that the inability to
read was Satan’s way to keep people from reading the Bible.
