RE: Why Were The Radical Republicans Radical?
The "3 R's" are shorthand for "Reading,Riting and Rithmetick." They encompass the basic primary school education in Reading,Writing and Mathematics [Arithmetick]. I believe the public school movement took off in the US in the 1840's. Our British cousins confuse the issue by referring to private non state schools as public schools.
