Answer:

To read the bible and the laws of the land.

Explanation:

The Massachusetts Bay Colony was established by the puritans who came to the New World after escaping persecution in England. The people gave value to literacy so that they could read the bible and stay away from the sin by not indulging themselves outside their teachings and believes. The Massachusetts Bay Colony became the first colony to pass a law that requires children to be qualified to read and write.

How did the long Enfield Rifles hurt the sentiment of the Indian sepoys?​
Karolina [17]

The sepoy mutiny was a widespread but unsuccessful rebellion against British rule in India in 1857–58. A rumour spread among the sepoys that the grease used to lubricate the cartridges was a mixture of pigs’ and cows’ lard. This had hurt both Hindus' and Muslims' religious sentiments which was one of the causes of the sepoy mutiny of 1857.
