Puritan education

How did the Puritan colonies create the best universities in the world? Does this imply Protestant supremacy when the most radical Protestants create world class education?

>Does this imply Protestant supremacy when the most radical Protestants create world class education?

Yes

Abstaining religious beliefs and a Protestant work ethic made the Puritans the most intelligent and prosperous community in the world

How did you find out about this?

It’s simple. Their upper class were teachers for preachers, preachers, and those descended from both. A Protestant fixation with education and literacy on overdrive.

Supremacy, not so much. They were supreme when they were actually breeding like dour little rabbits, but the WASPs lost their soul to modernity.

Antisemitism is logical.

puritans required all their children to read in an era where less than 10% of the population was literate. Regardless of their former economic situation, if they stuck to the program all of them would become important merchants, tradesmen and scientists very quickly. From there political control could be readily obtained. It was enough of a situation where the British monarchy, despite being sick of their influence and generally annoyed at their inability to live with non-puritians, had them exiled to the colonies rather than join in on the great irish gangbang. A century later, the politics resulting from the new world required creation of an independent state. Puritians were it's intellectual foundation, although the South would remain the dominant economic center until ~1845 (around the time railroads, steam-based power generation and mass produced steel were invented)

The Ivy League is an athletics conference that happens to contain most of the oldest universities in the country. Cornell is part of the Ivy League and is a very good university, but not as old as the others. It was founded in 1865 as a result of the Morrill Act of 1862. There are a few universities as old as the Ivy League schools that are not on OP's map. William & Mary and Rutgers are also colonial universities but not on the map.

Also, OP is a retard. Harvard, Dartmouth, and Yale were in Puritan colonies. Columbia, Princeton, Penn, and Brown are non-Puritan colonies. Pennsylvania was mostly Quakers, NY and NJ were split between the Anglican Church and Dutch Reformed Church an Rhode Island and Providence Plantations was specifically founded by Roger Williams as a Baptist haven from Puritan oppression.
