In the beginning of the period of nationalism, three revolutionaries namely Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin and Benjamin Rush suggested schemes for establishing a contemporary system of schools. An American form of the English dialect was used by Noah Webster’s Scheme in order to create an identity of US on a national level.
In the 19th century, the common school, which was the example of elementary school of the common masses, helped in the development of the education of teachers. This had much effect for the teachers of the ordinary schools. In addition to this, much initiative was taken up in order to make more number of women enter the field of teaching. At this time, the concept of women working or gaining education was not popular like modern times and majority of the women had to fight in order to obtain proper rights which was entitled to men but not them on the grounds that they are women and hence inferior in everything as compared to men.
At the end of the 19th century, the high schools that were public in nature, established the education system of America that connected the colleges of the state and universities to the elementary schools that are public. The future of the United States was influenced by such vital historical influences and references.
