As an adult, he fought for equal rights and education for blacks and women.
Mann joined the senate in ____ and advocated the temperance movement, an in-state insane asylum, and improved education.

Mann had six main principles of education that have resonated in and impacted education for years:
1) Citizens cannot maintain both ignorance and freedom
2)Education should be paid for, controlled, and maintained by the public
3)Education should be provided in schools that embrace children from varying backgrounds
4)Education must be nonsecular
5)Education must be taught using tenets of a free society
6)Education must be provided by well-trained, professional teachers

The Blue-Backed Speller taught children to read, spell and pronounce words. It was the most popular American book at the time and sold nearly 100 million copies.
