the separation of church and state.
This has been a very popular idea of late. The idea being that if people are united, then the government can no longer be an oppressive force. While this can be very true in many countries around the world, the early republics had to deal with a very real problem: religion.
It seems that the early republics also had a very real problem with religion. Religion had a very real influence on politics. Many of the early republics had been very religious, and it turns out that they were very religious in their own way. The early republics, like the modern country, were founded by religious zealots.
Religion in the eighteenth and early nineteenth century was very much a part of the government. This was true in the United States as well as in the British colonies. The government of both the United States and the British colonies had very serious religious elements. This is well-documented in Benjamin Franklin’s autobiography. Franklin wrote that after the American Revolution, he would travel to the United States and give lectures in the country.
The reason we pay attention is that we find it very effective to make the best of what we’re getting and then use our knowledge to give back to the people. However, the biggest problem with this approach is the lack of education.
There is very little education in the United States. In the United Kingdom, it is a bit more popular. In the United States, it is very rare. That’s because in America, unlike in Britain, education was very expensive. It was mostly a matter of private tutoring, plus the fact that most children could not read or write.
There’s evidence to suggest that education was also expensive in the 18th century. In Germany, a young person would often go to school only until they were fifteen or sixteen years old. In France, it was much the same. In the United States, most people couldn’t read until they were about eight or nine years old, so education was often expensive. In general, education was a luxury.
It is interesting to see how much money is spent on education in the middle ages. We tend to think of money as the ‘bad’ currency of the world (except in the United States, where it is used as a ‘good’ currency). But in the middle ages, the money spent on education was very low. In Europe, it was actually quite a lot. And it was expensive. I often wonder if that is one of the differences between the US and Europe.
Education was expensive in the middle ages because it was seen as a luxury. You didn’t have to ask your parents for money. You didn’t have to send your children to expensive schools. You didn’t have to worry about paying interest on loans. You weren’t going to be forced to buy books and keep them in good condition.
So if America were to start today the way Europe did, that would be absolutely terrible. It would be like everyone starting their careers with a free education (which is a big difference from Europe). By comparison, our public education system is so expensive. And it is such a big part of our society. I think this is one of the reasons why the US is so resistant to any form of reform. It seems like if you want to make changes, you have to create a new society.
