The colonial families were well-ordered in the 1800’s. Their children were homeschooled and followed instructions provided by their parents. Their family relations kept them bonded and always spends time together. They were known to live with aunts, cousins, and grandparents to keep they’re family together and well-ordered. Colonials had a close bond with their partner even though it was known for men to be the only ones to give orders and own property as women couldn’t. They felt as no one had more power than the other, they respected each other and saw each other equal.
Colonial children where home schooled and were taught by their parents as they were growing up.
