Answer:

They addressed the movement by

Requesting the Creation of free education for white children and training and educate teachers

Step-by-step explanation:

The Common School Movement was an effort that began in the early 1800s to provide free education to all students, regardless of wealth, heritage, or class. Horace Mann, who became the first Secretary of the Massachusetts State Board of Education in 1837, is credited with starting the movement.

Horace Mann "The Father of the Common School Movement,” was the foremost proponent of education reform in antebellum America.

The goals of the common school movement were to provide a free education for white children, to train and educate teachers, and to establish state control over public schools .
