Answer:
The Thomasites were a group of 600 American teachers who travelled from the United States to the newly occupied territory of the Philippines on the U.S. Army Transport Thomas.[1] The group included 346 men and 180 women, hailing from 43 different states and 193 colleges, universities, and normal schools.[1] The term 'Thomasites' has since expanded to include any teacher who arrived in the first few years of the American colonial period of the Philippines.
