Early American children had a relatively short childhood compared to modern children. Children were taught lessons at home or sometimes at a
one room school house where children of all ages attended. When children has outgrown their elementary toys, most then needed to go to work
in the fields, on the farm, or (in town) as an apprentice to a trade to support themselves and / or their families.
Early American home life was hard. Daily work preoccupied both adults and children in order for them to sustain their existence.
When they had free time, adults and children alike entertained one another with storytelling, music, dancing, and games such as marbles,
dice, and horseshoes. These small diversions helped preserve the cultural identity of individual groups of people, and helped establish
the beginnings of American culture.
