About this book

Pillars of the Republic: Common Schools and American Society, 1780-1860 (Past Masters Series) by Kaestle, Carl F.. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780809076208.

Pillars of the Republic is a pioneering study of common-school development in the years before the Civil War. Public acceptance of state school systems, Kaestle argues, was encouraged by the peoples commitment to republican government, by their trust in Protestant values, and by the development of capitalism. The author also examines the opposition to the Founding Fathers educational ideas and shows what effects these had on our school system.
