Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book consists of three letters written by renowned philanthropist and financier, George Peabody, serving as foundational documents for the Peabody Education Fund. In 1867, the year Reconstruction began following the American Civil War, Peabody expressed his concerns over the desperate state of education in the war-torn Southern states, and his earnest desire to alleviate their suffering. He donated a substantial sum to establish a trust, overseen by a board of trustees, to support and encourage intellectual, moral, and industrial education among the underprivileged youth of the South and Southwest. Peabody believed that education was pivotal for the progress and prosperity of any nation, and that assisting the impoverished Southern states was not only a moral imperative but also a crucial step towards national healing and unity. This book offers valuable insights into the history of philanthropy and education in the United States, highlighting the transformative power of one man's vision and generosity in shaping the educational landscape of a nation. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9781333551773_0
