Final answer:

Common schools were less common in the Southern states due to private education views, sparse populations, and reliance on private schooling.

Common schools were less common in the Southern states due to various factors:

  1. The planter class viewed education as a private matter and a responsibility of individual parents, not the government, leading to a stratified system of education.
  2. Southern states had sparser populations and focused more on economic opportunities for survival rather than investing in a common schooling system.
