Answer: The ideal answer should include:



  • There was growing support for tax-supported public education in the 1830s.


  • Horace Mann, a Massachusetts state legislator and lawyer, was one of the most prominent educational reformers.


  • Mann stressed the notion of a common school system available to all boys and girls.


  • He advocated a curriculum that included basic knowledge and skills, as well as what he considered to be American values.


  • Local school boards looked to women to serve as teachers.


  • Most of the beneficiaries of public education in the decades prior to the Civil War were northern white children.


  • In most communities, education remained a local affair.
