Life in the Hudson River Valley in 1790 was not easy. America was a brand-new country and the American Revolution was still fresh in people’s minds (p. 12). Most people still lived on farms and were responsible for producing their own food and making their own clothing (p. 16). Young boys had to wake up early to help their fathers by harvesting crops, fishing, and hunting. During harvest time, working on the farm took priority over going to school (p. 16). School was held in a one-room schoolhouse and all of the students were taught by one teacher (p. 16). Teachers at the time were not paid well and had to depend on their students’ parents for food and shelter (p. 13). People entertained themselves by telling stories—many of them ghost stories based on memories of the American Revolution (p. 14, p. 16).

Life in the Hudson River Valley in 1790 was challenging due to the recent American Revolution and the newness of the country. The majority of people lived on farms and were responsible for their own food and clothing production. Young boys had to assist their fathers in farming, fishing, and hunting, often prioritizing work over education. Education was provided in one-room schoolhouses, where a single teacher taught all the students. These teachers were poorly paid and relied on their students' parents for sustenance. As a form of entertainment, people shared stories, particularly ghost stories inspired by the memories of the American Revolution.Rate this question:
