The Puritans organized public education in the state of Massachusetts.
Horace Mann was a pivotal figure in the development of the American public education system in the 19th century. As the first secretary of the Massachusetts Board of Education, he advocated for universal public education, emphasizing the need for trained teachers and standardized curriculum. Mann believed that education was essential for democracy and social equity, and he worked tirelessly to promote reforms that would make schooling accessible to all children, regardless of their background. His efforts laid the groundwork for the establishment of public school systems across the United States.
Mayflower Compact was the first form of self-government in America.
No, the Puritans did not land in Jamestown. Jamestown was established in 1607 by the English as the first permanent settlement in North America, primarily by the Virginia Company. The Puritans, who sought religious freedom, later settled in New England, with the most notable group arriving on the Mayflower in 1620 to establish Plymouth Colony.
Plymouth, Massachusetts, was founded in 1620.
The puritans did not like the Native Americans. They had sort of a standoffish attitude towards them, because they did not put God first. Instead they put survival first. This caused problems in the puritan communities, and were not welcoming to the natives. This was ironic because the puritans left England because of the religious persecution in England. Then they are persecuting others for not being of their faith. The puritans never saw the native's way of living as a good idea. They thought if you live by the Bible and live for god, then if you are meant to survive, you will and if you die from malnutrition or other survival needs God wanted you to die.
The Puritans established the first public school in Roxbury, MA.

The Massachusetts Puritans passed the first public education law in 1647. This law is known as the Old Deluder Satan Act and required towns with 50 or more households to hire a schoolmaster to teach reading and writing.

It was a theocracy: there was no separation of church and state back then, and the Puritans were the dominant religious group, so their religion was the only one allowed. And despite how austere and harsh the Puritans were, they really believed in education, and both boys and girls were expected to learn to read and write.
The Puritans believed that everyone should be able to read the Bible so they passed laws to have government pay for education. Harvard College was the first college in the United States and it was originally made to teach ministers.
The first public school was created in 1635 by Puritans. The school was in the home of Philemon Pormont because he was the schoolmaster. It did not have a name at the time but was later named, Boston Latin School.
The Puritans first settled in Plymouth Colony in 1620.
