In 1636, Harvard became the first college followed by Princeton, Brown, and Ivy League schools. However, the southern plantations didn't want slaves to learn how to read and write because it is a way to freedom. Benjamin Franklin later established the University of Pennsylvania which is the only non-religious secular colleges that still exists today.
