The statement "Horace Mann felt that reforming the American educational system was important because it would help young Americans become better citizens and good Christians" is FALSE. While Horace Mann was indeed a prominent advocate for education reform in the United States, his main objective was to create a system that would provide equal opportunities for all children, regardless of their social or economic background. Mann believed that education was essential for the development of an enlightened and democratic society, emphasizing civic responsibility and preparing students for active participation in public affairs. While religion and morality were important aspects of education at the time, Mann's primary focus was on fostering intellectual curiosity, moral character, and social progress.
