The education that was provided in the colonies varied greatly depending on the region, the gender and the class of the people involved.
In the New England colonies, education was considered to be extremely important, and this usually had a heavy religious component. Most Puritans believed that education was a way to follow God's wishes, as it allowed people to read the Bible.
In the Middle Colonies, education was also considered important, but this was less organized than in New England. Most children were educated in community schools, which reflected the tight nature of the communities.
Finally, education in the South was heavily stratified. Wealthy landowners received an excellent education, while women were generally only able to read and write and perform basic math. Moreover, most slaves were not educated in any way. People who did receive education in the South generally did so through the use of private tutors, as communities were not as close and the distance between plantations was usually very large.

Answer:
The electoral college consists of 538 electors, who choose the president of the United States. These electors are sent from the states, in proportion to their population, and in all states except for Maine and Nebraska, the electors are bound to the candidate that obtains the plurality of votes in the state.
Some presidents have been elected despite having lost the popular vote.
An example from the 19th century is Rutherford B. Hayes, who lost the popular vote to his contender, Samuel J. Tilden, but still won because he got 20 more electoral votes.
An example from the 21st century is the most recent election: Donald Trump lost the popular vote to Hillary Clinton, but won the electoral college (304 votes vs Clinton's 227 votes). In part this is because Trump won several crucial states by very small margins, for example, Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania.
