"Education in America: 19th Century" explores the development of free public school systems, as promised for the Northwest Territory by the Northwest Ordinance of 1787, during the period of westward expansion. Other trends highlighted include the shift to secular education; the influence of American textbooks; the rise and decline of the district school; the struggle over tax support and state control; the contributions of Daniel Webster, William McGuffey, Gideon Hawley, and Horace Mann; the effect of the Civil War; compulsory attendance laws; and the rise of teacher training institutions.
