Ashley Ramos Reform Movements expanded through Democratic Ideals
The 2nd Great Awakening occurred within the 1800–1840's and it helped revive the idea of religious
ideas. During the 2nd Great Awakening, many were beginning to participate in public meeting. This
helped with the formation of the reform movements because the reform movements were social
movements that showed how many people decided to get involved for their own benefit, and took

Political And Social Changes During The Progressive Era
The Progressive Era, lasting from the 1890s until the 1920s, was a chapter in American history that
was characterized by social activism and countless reform movements. Political and social reforms
were just two of the numerous movements that occurred during this time period. Although many
political and social changes were introduced to America during the Progressive Era, there were also
many continuities that transpired. The 17th, 18th, and 19th amendments are all examples of social
and political changes that took place, but corruption and civil rights for African Americans
continued to remain defective throughout and even after the Progressive Era.

The 19th amendment was the last major reform of the Progressive movement. Promptly after the
conclusion of Progressive Era, the Woman's Civil Right movement hit a rough patch and women
were hastily urged to remain and return back into the house; cooking, cleaning and producing
babies. Around the same time, the majority of reform movements went silent, no progress was made
and very few decided to continue the reforms. The 18th amendment was also extremely unpopular
and proved to be a momentous failure. Many people often ignored the law and it gave way for a
huge profit to be made off the illegal selling of alcohol. The 21st amendment was ratified on
December 5, 1933, and repealed the previous 18th which prohibited alcohol. The most significant

The women's suffrage movement, was the women's right by law to vote in elections. The movement

Lucy Stone who were all women's rights activists, also sparked the cause of the suffrage movement.
Mott and Stanton organized the Seneca Falls Convention in 1848, which was a place to discuss
women's rights. By 1918, women had won the right to vote in 15 states in the U.S. Stanton stated,
"... to declare our right to be free as man is free, to be represented in the government which we are

Going along with this the reformers actually sort of worked together to achieve their goals. Many
people were advocated for two or more of the movements and others at least agreed with or
supported the other reformers. Something else that tied these people together was their use of
nonviolence. Of course there are a few exceptions, but most of the reformers followed this principle.
Lastly, all reformers sought after the common goal of ridding their lives of immorality. Everything
the reformers wanted to get rid of was seen by them as immoral. All wanted a Utopian society.
Would you consider these individuals as idealists or practical reformers? I consider most of the
abolitionists to be idealistic. Although it would be different on a case to case basis, this applies to the

abundance of higher quality goods and services such as better foods, clothes, and a better

Causes Of The Temperance Movement
The Second Great Awakening was a period of religious revival that peaked between 1820 and 1840.
Accompanied by Manifest Destiny and the Market Revolution, the awakening brought out new
religious ideas to a massive audience. These religious ideas of purity, equality, and the fallacy of
predestination attributed to many important reform movements, including the temperance
movement, the Abolition Movement, the first wave of Feminism, and reforms within prisons.
One major movement in the 19th century that grew from the Second Great Awakening was the
Temperance Movement, a movement that would later lead to the 18th amendment which prohibited
the sale and brewing of alcohol and ushered in the Prohibition Era. According to Lyman Beecher, in
his sermon "A Reformation of Morals Practicable and Indispensable," the excessive drinking of
alcohol "will produce neither bodies nor minds like those which were the offspring of temperance
and virtue." This statement regarding temperance is just a small part of his larger viewpoint in the
sermon, which focused on how we as Americans need to return to a more faithful society(Doc 1)
(POV). This message would echo through the United States and turn many people against alcohol.

Progressivism is a political movement and what it caused was rights that everyone deserved. Strikes
happened because there were no rights to protect and make employees comfortable in their working
environment. Progressive reform on the other hand made it so Capitalists could no longer suppress
the problems that they produced. These unimaginable injustices toward the people by capitalists and
government is what really sparked the progressive reform movement and lead to things like strikes.
Desperation for change became critical in the new progressive era. John Spargo, a progressive
muckraker and an active socialist, focused his reform efforts on improving lives of poor children. A
quote from a book he wrote in 1908 advocated government controls over the distribution and
pasteurization of milk to protect the health of babies and children. What spargo said in this quote
was "...plea for action; to waken...dormant and neglected powers and impulses...need to be called

The Movement Of Fight For Urban Land Reform
The Movimento de Luta nos Bairros, Vilas e Favelas – MLB (Movement of Fight in Communities,

reform and for the human right of decent living conditions. Thousands of families throughout the
whole country make up the movement, most of them victims of the land and propriety speculation

movement, having a set up of "collective challenges by people with common purposes and solidarity
in sustained interaction with elites, opponents and authorities"(Tarrow, 1998).
Successive governments in Brazilian history have been ruling the county solely for the rich. During
the last centuries most part of governmental assistance was directed to owners of big industries,
great landowners and, more recently, bankers and financial speculators, and despite Brazil being rich
in natural resources, the majority of Brazilian society is poor and 11% of the population still lives
under the poverty line (Databank.worldbank.org, 2011). Nowadays, more than 7 million families are
denied access to decent housing and about half of the population is not served with basic sanitation.

Another important reform movement was that of women suffrage. In the early 19th century, married
women could not enter into contracts without their husband 's consent. Women also lost all title to
property or future earnings upon marriage. Children were also legally controlled by the father.
Women were also often left without protection against kidnapping or even imprisonment by
husbands and other male relatives. Women were also denied educational opportunities in a male
dominated society. There were many women involved in this movement but there were a significant
few who stood out. Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Lucretia Mott organized the Seneca Falls
Convention, and many other movements along with many papers and declarations calling for a
women 's right to own property and to vote. Later the two formed the National Women 's Suffrage
Association.
Over many years of protests and other movements laws were passed that granted women the right to
vote and own their own land. One major movement was the temperance movement. In colonial
America, informal social controls in the home and community helped maintain the expectation that

God gave men the free will to elect their own salvation. There is no sin until it is actually
committed. Sin was now considered a voluntary act. It also consists of a change of heart, which
revived the concept of limited atonement. Christ did not die for only a select few predestined elect,
but for whosoever will accept God's offer of salvation. Personal commitment also involved an active
and useful Christian life in which individual action brings the kingdom closer. Revivals were made
possible by itinerant preachers. One of the most famous itinerant preachers was Charles Grandion
Finney. He is the father of Modern revivalism. Born in Oneida, Connecticut in 1792, he had a
conversion experience in 1821. In Finney theology, sin was a voluntary act and hence avoidable.
"When the churches are...awakened and reformed, the reformation and salvation of sinners will
follow, going through the same stages of conviction, repentance, and reformation. Their hearts will
be broken down and changed." (Document B) his teaching of theology also put emphasis on
perfectionism and social activism. Finney later died in 1875. However, his teachings were passed on
through all night prayer meetings and anxious seating. Conversion of the world is exactly what is

Reza Shah's reign, that the country is somewhat unrecognisable to a modern intellectual in the

The Reform Movements of America
American History Essay Prior to the Civil War, the United States experienced several different
reform movements. These movements included the temperance movement, education movement,
prison movements, women's rights movement, and the anti–slavery movement. When glanced
together, there may initially seem to be little connection between these various different movements.
However, they were actually supported by a common theme, the liberation of the human spirit. This
idea that all humans should be free provided the support for all of the different movements. The
temperance movement was based on the idea that humanity should be free from its own vices. The
education movement linked knowledge and freedom. The prison reform movement was not based
on physical liberation, but on the idea that the spirit–crushing punitive emphasis of old fashioned
prisons would not create any possibility of change in the inmates. The women's rights movement
was based upon the notion that women should not be treated as inferior to men because of gender.
Finally, the anti–slavery movement did not focus solely on the idea that slavery, as an institution,
was inherently bad because it deprived people of their physical liberty without just cause, but also
on how slavery was practiced in the antebellum South and the indignities that accompanied it. The

not open to women. Their status was, at best, confining. Nonetheless, their presence was felt and
their opinions were brought to bear when those opportunities presented themselves. Many of the
women who grabbed these opportunities were close to the movers and shakers of the early republic,

personnel around the formation and implementation of public policy; and to serve in a mediating
role between individuals and their government. Political parties are as old as organized political

The Reform Movement of Progressivism
Progressivism is defined as an early 20th century reform movement seeking to return control of the
government to the people to restore economic opportunities and to correct injustices in American
life. During this time period, certain aspects of American life were in need of drastic change, so
progressives led the charge towards reforming American society and politics. Among these aspects,
social and political conditions were some of the most heavily reformed, involving women's rights,
and corruption. At the turn of the 20th century, appliances became more common in American
households, reducing the amount of housework for women. Because of this women became more
prominent in the workforce, and they began to take a more active role in politics. As they began to
take an active role, they became some of the progressives who fought so hard for reforms on the
political and social fronts. For example, Jane Addams founded the Hull House in Chicago, located in
one of the poor neighborhoods. It was used as an information center for immigrants, so immigrants
could learn English and be able to go out and get a job to support their families, and the House was
also used by poor Americans as a multi–faceted enterprise. It had a music school for kids and adults,

United States was still developing to achieve an ideal nation, in order to achieve it's goal there were
many reforms. Reform movements occurred in many places, categories, and led by many
magnificent figures. Reform movements ranged from women's rights, education, slavery, and many
more. Despite the equality reforms such as abolition and women's suffrage, the majority of reforms
carried out in the early 19th century focused on a utopian society, instead of democratic ideals.
Therefore, the opinion that "all reform movements in America at this time sought to expand
democratic ideals" is invalid specific to this time period.

The Progressive Reform Movements
After the industrialization of the nation, problems arose because of many new circumstances. The
progressive reform efforts were an integral part of United States history. Reforms such as the
Antitrust Movement and the Clean Food Push helped protect the public from unsafe conditions, both
in the business and in the market. After the rise of the Standard Oil Trust, other companies began to
form trusts as well. Soon after this, trusts controlled every industry, which was detrimental to the

Secondary Reform movements?
Maine is a small state that is not terribly diverse in it 's population. Ethnic and racial minorities
make up just less that 2 percent of its population (U.S. Census Bureau). Maine has also been
considered one of the more poorer states. Maine 's economy relies heavily on tourist seasons and
with a slow economy, unemployment, under–employment and low paying jobs occur. (Price, 2005).
When is came to challenge the Temporary Assistance to Needy families reform movement, Maine
was the first state to successfully do so. Maine is state that is committed to education. Under the
Reagan administration there was a federal Work Incentive Demonstration project ,which allowed
women on welfare the chance to go to college, the state 's advocates convinced the Department of
Human Services to take advantage of this program. Fortunately for Maine, the state tends to
promote accessibility to all citizens, which is not common amongst state welfare bureaucracies. The
advocates recognized that education was a way to get rid of poverty, not to mention empower
women and potentially stimulate their economy. Eventually, this demonstration came to be known as
ASPIRE. (Price, 2005).

This reform movement's purpose was to end racial stereotypes segregation, discrimination, and to
abolish slavery. Furthermore, many believed that slavery or owning another person, went against
one of the basic fundamentals that our country was founded on, that all men are created equal. There
was a great divide that eventually led to the civil war that changed our nation. It divided families,
politicians, and our nation. In the result of this divide some wrote newspapers, for example, one of
the most famous was the Liberator written by William Lloyd Garrison. Delegates from both races
and genders met in Philadelphia to found the American Anti–Slavery society, they believed slavery
was a sin. There were many displays of hostility from the North and South. There were violent
mobs, burning of mailbags containing abolitionist literature, and the gag rule itself. The gag rule was
the blocked discussion of antislavery petitions. In conclusion, all of these things later lead to the
great civil war. These two movements were both created to make America a more civilized and a
free place to live. Where all men are created equal. But, one dealing with a commodity, or a product,
and people making their own choices. While the other dealt with people who didn't have a choice,
they didn't choose to be slaves. All in all, each movement was significant in its own way to make

American reform movements have generally been started as a rebellion against the control of big
businesses and corrupt government. The poor conditions of schools and the entire education system
at the turn of the twentieth century were a major cause for reform. That reform movement has
influenced the entire education system and has made it better and more suitable for students.
(Buenker, 2007)
Civil rights for African–Americans and women was just beginning to become an issue in the late
19th century. Many progressivists spoke out for suffrage for women and equal rights for black
people. Today, civil rights for minorities is still a big cause for reform. There are many different
oraganizations whose goal is to reform the way society, the government and businesses treat any
type of minority, including Hispanics, homosexuals and Native Americans. However civil rights is
just one of the many causes of modern reform groups. Others include reform of huge companies and

The Expansion Of The Antebellum Period
Prior to the Antebellum Period, the United States began to expand its influence to the Midwest.
Although there were conflicts regarding the state of slavery, the expansion of land helped the people
of America attain cheaper and larger plots of land out west. Due to the fact that more land was
available within the United States, immigrants had the desire to emigrate to America and establish
new ways of life. Since both the Irish and the Germans brought their own ideologies with them,
conflicts arose with them and the Americans, which made the American's fear change. Along with
immigrants came the European Romantic Movement. This movement emphasized the ideas of man's
perfection and the metaphysical and spiritual side of humans. Although, during the Antebellum
Period, the American's fear of change led to reforms involving the immigration of others and,
ultimately, the Second Great Awakening, but the Romantic Movement, brought from Europe by the
said immigrants, also led to reforms such as abolitionism and feminism within American society.
With the immigration of Europeans, primarily the Irish, came conflicting views that created tension
within the United States and caused Americans to fear change and reform their society. Due to these
tensions, a new ideology, nativism, became popular. Nativism, an anti–immigration ideology,

declaration demanded equality of men and women. Women's suffrage, or the right to vote, was
another struggle for the women to overcome. These women did win some small victories such as

The Reform Movement Of Rural Canada During The Nineteenth...
The search for reform in rural Canada during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries reveals a deep
connection between educational movements and social reform. The readings for the first three
weeks of this course have provided an overview of how social reformers during this period were
keen to promote an "urban and modern orientation" to direct social reform movements in rural
Canada. Often, this perspective came into conflict with the needs of the rural society at the time.
Therefore, the widespread discontent within the rural society was illustrated through the various
efforts of social reform in Canada during the 1860s–1960s.
The first set of readings of this course outline the ways in which the hopes of the social reformers
were to promote reform based on an "urban and modern orientation" through movements in
agriculture, social welfare, and education. In doing so, the social reformers encouraged three kinds
of developments: i) the promotion of an "urban orientation" through the reform of "agricultural
education," ii) the promotion reform through social legislation, and finally iii) the promotion of
reform in rural education to "progressive systems of education." Although the reformers saw the
promotion of progressivism as a solution to the various problems within the rural society, the
widespread discontent from the rural society depicted the ways in which the needs of the urbanites
and the rural society came into conflict.

Political And Social Changes During The Progressive Era The Progressive Era, lasting from the 1890s until the 1920s, was a chapter in American history that was characterized by social activism and countless reform movements. Political and social reforms were just two of the numerous movements that occurred during this time period. Although many political and social changes were introduced to America during the Progressive Era, there were also many continuities that transpired. The 17th, 18th, and 19th amendments are all examples of social and political changes that took place, but corruption and civil rights for African Americans continued to remain defective throughout and even after the Progressive Era. An abundant amount of political changes occurred during the Progressive Era, beginning with ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... The 19th amendment was the last major reform of the Progressive movement. Promptly after the conclusion of Progressive Era, the Woman's Civil Right movement hit a rough patch and women were hastily urged to remain and return back into the house; cooking, cleaning and producing babies. Around the same time, the majority of reform movements went silent, no progress was made and very few decided to continue the reforms. The 18th amendment was also extremely unpopular and proved to be a momentous failure. Many people often ignored the law and it gave way for a huge profit to be made off the illegal selling of alcohol. The 21st amendment was ratified on December 5, 1933, and repealed the previous 18th which prohibited alcohol. The most significant failure of the Progressive Era was the fact that civil rights for African Americans remained the same, no progress or reforms were successfully practiced during the movement.

Reform Movement In Felix Holt George Eliot's Felix Holt, published in June, 1866, charts the moral growth and development of the major protagonists, Felix Holt and Esther Lyon, at the backdrop of Reform Movement. This novel is praised 'for the way George Eliot enlists our sympathies in the lives of her characters – good and bad – with a heartiness which few other... writers can even rival'(Jedrezejewski 67). Though Felix Holt is presented as an idealised and straightforward character, he lacks in humility. While he ties himself up with public life, he tries to reform both Esther Lyon and the working class. He sees the two roles as being quite separate and incompatible, and his moral growth in course of the novel is from his initial scorn of Esther and of women in general, ...

Her horizon expands and she begins to feel that if Felix Holt loves her, her life would be exalted into a sort of new blessedness, such as one may imagine in beings who are conscious of painfully growing into the possession of higher power.

"Reform movements in the United States sought to expand democratic ideals." This quote is true because, democratic ideals are what the people want and a democracy is where people rule the government. Reform movements were created by the Second Great Awakening and it is where people tried to improve their lives. For example, no alcohol, expanding education, separating themselves from utopias, and womens suffrage. All these examples are ways to improve oneself, and spread democratic ideals. The Temperance Movement was created in the 19th and early 20th centuries. It was an organization to help people consume less alcohol and ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... The women's suffrage movement, was the women's right by law to vote in elections. The movement was especially big in the United States and in Britain. The abolition movement caused the rise of the women's suffrage movement and Lucretia Mott, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, the Grimke Sisters and Lucy Stone who were all women's rights activists, also sparked the cause of the suffrage movement. Mott and Stanton organized the Seneca Falls Convention in 1848, which was a place to discuss women's rights. By 1918, women had won the right to vote in 15 states in the U.S. Stanton stated, "... to declare our right to be free as man is free, to be represented in the government which we are taxed to support, to have such disgraceful laws as give man the power to chastise and imprison his wife..." (Doc. K). Men aren't better than women. Men and women should be equal, and they should both have the right to vote. This reform movement really helped expand democratic ideals because the women's suffrage movement was a success, and all the strong, female leaders also really helped to expand this idea across the ...

Gender inequality and slavery were the two biggest evils that reformers tried eliminating in the time period. The abolition of slavery had many reformers behind it. Two very important men trying to achieve this were Frederick Douglass and William Lloyd Garrison, a white man, going to show there was support from all types of people. Two of the women's rights advocates were Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Sarah Grimke. They both achieved great things to help out their cause.

Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Going along with this the reformers actually sort of worked together to achieve their goals. Many people were advocated for two or more of the movements and others at least agreed with or supported the other reformers. Something else that tied these people together was their use of nonviolence. Of course there are a few exceptions, but most of the reformers followed this principle. Lastly, all reformers sought after the common goal of ridding their lives of immorality. Everything the reformers wanted to get rid of was seen by them as immoral. All wanted a Utopian society. Would you consider these individuals as idealists or practical reformers? I consider most of the abolitionists to be idealistic. Although it would be different on a case to case basis, this applies to the reformers in general. This is due to the fact that all of the reformers wanted to reach their goal then. In reality it would take many years to fully achieve what they wanted. There was no compromising with the reformers. They didn't just want some reforming; they wanted corruption to be completely eradicated. This lack of compromise is what classifies the reformers as idealistic. That is the distinguishing feature between idealistic and practical reformers. To what extent did these reformers achieve success in the period 1820–1860?

In response to sudden changes occurring and traditional values being challenged, various reform movements during 1825–1850 began to focus on democratic ideals. The rise of religious revivals, movements for equal rights and protecting liberties of different social groups, want to advance society technologically, and desire to bring order and control helped reform the society to live up to the nation's founding ideals.

The increasing quality and affordability of such books as well as newspapers, with new perspectives and philosophies printed by new machines, allowed the common people access to new knowledge. Society was now exposed to knowledge such as: philosophy, current events, and political information which brought up the level of education of the common man. Not only were books made cheaper and more available, an abundance of higher quality goods and services such as better foods, clothes, and a better transportation system now became available to the society. As Horace Greenley of the New York Tribune accounts: "We have universalized all the beautiful and glorious results of industry and skill... We have made them a common possession of the people.... We have democratized the means and appliances of a higher life (Art and Industry 58)." Greenley is saying that the Progress of the Age has brought high quality goods previously only for aristocrats down to the common people, raising the living standard of the common people: a true democratic value.

  • 17. Causes Of The Temperance Movement The Second Great Awakening was a period of religious revival that peaked between 1820 and 1840. Accompanied by Manifest Destiny and the Market Revolution, the awakening brought out new religious ideas to a massive audience. These religious ideas of purity, equality, and the fallacy of predestination attributed to many important reform movements, including the temperance movement, the Abolition Movement, the first wave of Feminism, and reforms within prisons. One major movement in the 19th century that grew from the Second Great Awakening was the Temperance Movement, a movement that would later lead to the 18th amendment which prohibited the sale and brewing of alcohol and ushered in the Prohibition Era. According to Lyman Beecher, in his sermon "A Reformation of Morals Practicable and Indispensable," the excessive drinking of alcohol "will produce neither bodies nor minds like those which were the offspring of temperance and virtue." This statement regarding temperance is just a small part of his larger viewpoint in the sermon, which focused on how we as Americans need to return to a more faithful society(Doc 1) (POV). This message would echo through the United States and turn many people against alcohol. In John Warner Barber's "The Drunkard's Progress, or the direct road to poverty, wretchedness & ruin," Barber is depicting to families of possible drunkards the downward spiral of alcohol addiction that is most likely occurring in their households.

Evils like child labor and social ills were thought curable by progressive optimists like John Spargo and Upton Sinclair but the main focus was urban America. The progressive reform movement was a period of awareness where people sought to change the injustices of society for example, Anti–Trust laws, recognition of environmental destruction and conservation of national park land, and improving the American way of life through significant areas of reform like women's suffrage. The industrial revolution spawned unimaginable injustices toward the people by capitalists and the United States government. Overpopulation, poor living ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Progressivism is a political movement and what it caused was rights that everyone deserved. Strikes happened because there were no rights to protect and make employees comfortable in their working environment. Progressive reform on the other hand made it so Capitalists could no longer suppress the problems that they produced. These unimaginable injustices toward the people by capitalists and government is what really sparked the progressive reform movement and lead to things like strikes. Desperation for change became critical in the new progressive era. John Spargo, a progressive muckraker and an active socialist, focused his reform efforts on improving lives of poor children. A quote from a book he wrote in 1908 advocated government controls over the distribution and pasteurization of milk to protect the health of babies and children. What spargo said in this quote was "...plea for action; to waken...dormant and neglected powers and impulses...need to be called into active cooperation in order that evils may be remedied."(doc 4) Spargo, like many other Americans, wished to fix ills and asked for action to change the way of life for the better.

The Movement Of Fight For Urban Land Reform The Movimento de Luta nos Bairros, Vilas e Favelas – MLB (Movement of Fight in Communities, Vilas and Favelas, loosely translated), is a Brazilian social movement that fights for urban land reform and for the human right of decent living conditions. Thousands of families throughout the whole country make up the movement, most of them victims of the land and propriety speculation predatory action. They are gathered in a way much alike what Sidney Tarrow described as a social movement, having a set up of "collective challenges by people with common purposes and solidarity in sustained interaction with elites, opponents and authorities"(Tarrow, 1998). Successive governments in Brazilian history have been ruling the county solely for the rich. During the last centuries most part of governmental assistance was directed to owners of big industries, great landowners and, more recently, bankers and financial speculators, and despite Brazil being rich in natural resources, the majority of Brazilian society is poor and 11% of the population still lives under the poverty line (Databank.worldbank.org, 2011). Nowadays, more than 7 million families are denied access to decent housing and about half of the population is not served with basic sanitation. According to the UN, by 2020, 55 million people will be living in favelas in Brazil (UN, 2012).

Reform movements did not always work but the ones that did greatly changed the way our nation operates today. There were three major reform movements that have altered the nation; the abolitionist movement, the temperance movement and the women 's suffrage movement. Without these movements, and the great leaders involved, many common rights would not exist today. One of the most important social and political reform movement in United States history was the antislavery movement. This movement and the beliefs that were held by it started many ...

In the early 19th century, married women could not enter into contracts without their husband 's consent. Women also lost all title to property or future earnings upon marriage. Children were also legally controlled by the father. Women were also often left without protection against kidnapping or even imprisonment by husbands and other male relatives. Women were also denied educational opportunities in a male dominated society. There were many women involved in this movement but there were a significant few who stood out. Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Lucretia Mott organized the Seneca Falls Convention, and many other movements along with many papers and declarations calling for a women 's right to own property and to vote. Later the two formed the National Women 's Suffrage Association. Over many years of protests and other movements laws were passed that granted women the right to vote and own their own land. One major movement was the temperance movement. In colonial America, informal social controls in the home and community helped maintain the expectation that the abuse of alcohol was unacceptable. There was a clear consensus that while alcohol was a gift form God its abuse was from the Devil. As the colonies grew from a rural society into a more urban one, drinking patterns began to change.

It also consists of a change of heart, which revived the concept of limited atonement. Christ did not die for only a select few predestined elect, but for whosoever will accept God's offer of salvation. Personal commitment also involved an active and useful Christian life in which individual action brings the kingdom closer. Revivals were made possible by itinerant preachers. One of the most famous itinerant preachers was Charles Grandion Finney. He is the father of Modern revivalism. Born in Oneida, Connecticut in 1792, he had a conversion experience in 1821. In Finney theology, sin was a voluntary act and hence avoidable. "When the churches are...awakened and reformed, the reformation and salvation of sinners will follow, going through the same stages of conviction, repentance, and reformation. Their hearts will be broken down and changed." (Document B) his teaching of theology also put emphasis on perfectionism and social activism. Finney later died in 1875. However, his teachings were passed on through all night prayer meetings and anxious seating. Conversion of the world is exactly what is meant 'a conversion of the world'.

Furthermore, Kasravi shows that such a rapid amount of social change occurs from the beginning of Reza Shah's reign, that the country is somewhat unrecognisable to a modern intellectual in the 1940's that is critical of the reign of Reza Shah. While Kasravi is correct in his assertion, his statements do show that intellectual progress had halted by the 1940's. The intellectuals of the early Twentieth Century had achieved their social goals, such as; the introduction of education, rule of law and the secularisation of government institutions, but now social progress was stagnating. At the time of Kasravi's writing there was a generation of modern intellectuals that had grown up in the reign of Reza Shah who were asking for further and more radical reforms. Kasravi is critical of their somewhat unappreciative stance, but Kasravi fails to understand that reform is a social agenda, which is always in motion; and any halt to the progress of reform can lead to stagnation and conservatism.

  • 35. The Reform Movements of America American History Essay Prior to the Civil War, the United States experienced several different reform movements. These movements included the temperance movement, education movement, prison movements, women's rights movement, and the anti–slavery movement. When glanced together, there may initially seem to be little connection between these various different movements. However, they were actually supported by a common theme, the liberation of the human spirit. This idea that all humans should be free provided the support for all of the different movements. The temperance movement was based on the idea that humanity should be free from its own vices. The education movement linked knowledge and freedom. The prison reform movement was not based on physical liberation, but on the idea that the spirit–crushing punitive emphasis of old fashioned prisons would not create any possibility of change in the inmates. The women's rights movement was based upon the notion that women should not be treated as inferior to men because of gender. Finally, the anti–slavery movement did not focus solely on the idea that slavery, as an institution, was inherently bad because it deprived people of their physical liberty without just cause, but also on how slavery was practiced in the antebellum South and the indignities that accompanied it. The temperance movement is one of the least–understood of all the reform movements because, while it had a tremendous impact on American society, its ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

(American women's history–Nancy A.Hewitt) Two hundred years ago, the traditional roles of leadership were not open to women. Their status was, at best, confining. Nonetheless, their presence was felt and their opinions were brought to bear when those opportunities presented themselves. Many of the women who grabbed these opportunities were close to the movers and shakers of the early republic, while others took direct action on their own. The expansion of the participation of women in American culture occurred within the limits of the home and family, but formed nonetheless one of the streams of social development within which post–Revolutionary energies could flow.

The Reform Movement of Progressivism Progressivism is defined as an early 20th century reform movement seeking to return control of the government to the people to restore economic opportunities and to correct injustices in American life. During this time period, certain aspects of American life were in need of drastic change, so progressives led the charge towards reforming American society and politics. Among these aspects, social and political conditions were some of the most heavily reformed, involving women's rights, and corruption. At the turn of the 20th century, appliances became more common in American households, reducing the amount of housework for women. Because of this women became more prominent in the workforce, and they began to take a more active role in politics. As they began to take an active role, they became some of the progressives who fought so hard for reforms on the political and social fronts. For example, Jane Addams founded the Hull House in Chicago, located in one of the poor neighborhoods. It was used as an information center for immigrants, so immigrants could learn English and be able to go out and get a job to support their families, and the House was also used by poor Americans as a multi–faceted enterprise.

Originally, the rights of American women were minor. Women could not vote, serve on juries, or attend colleges among other restrictions. Women like Lucretia Mott and Elizabeth Cady Stanton fought long and hard for civil, religious, and social rights of American women. Stanton wrote the Declaration of Sentiments which was modeled after the Declaration of Independence. This declaration demanded equality of men and women. Women's suffrage, or the right to vote, was another struggle for the women to overcome. These women did win some small victories such as convincing New York to pass a law protecting women's property rights, and some states even began to allow married women to keep their wages. Education also improved for women. American schools were focused on educating boys, who would grow up to be voters, so Emma Willard started The Troy Female Seminary. Eventually, Mary Lyon built Mount Holyoke Female Seminary, which was the first college for women, although it was not called a college at the time. Even though education improved for women, it would not be until 1920 that a constitutional amendment would be made to allow women to vote.

Anthony, and Carrie Chapman Catt led all reform movements in energy and ambition. Although their "Declaration of Rights of Women" failed to gain women the right to vote, the momentum led to a change in many state laws regarding women's issues. Although the abolition of slavery was not successful, William Lloyd Garrison and Harriet Beecher Stowe became wildly successful in gathering support. Idealistic communes such as found in New Harmony, Brook Farm, and Nauvoo spread the message reform, peace, and self–reliance for those seeking religious freedom. Since most of the incarcerated were the poor, this period of the "common man" sought to rectify all such moral ills.

This cause, espoused by Horace Mann and others, was instrumental in sparking the frame of education which would spread though the Untied States like wildfire.

According to Document H, there was 9 steps of drinking called, "The Drunkard's Progress". What the artist is trying to portray is that drinking is bad if it gets out of hand.

Drinking in moderation was not the problem, it was an overdose of alcohol and recklessness of the individual that caused the problem. People began to question why drunkenness was becoming such a problem. In the opinion of Charles Finney, a well known 2nd Great Awakening Evangelical, he believed that religion was not having a big enough influence in society.

  • 77. The Reform Movement Of Rural Canada During The Nineteenth... The search for reform in rural Canada during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries reveals a deep connection between educational movements and social reform. The readings for the first three weeks of this course have provided an overview of how social reformers during this period were keen to promote an "urban and modern orientation" to direct social reform movements in rural Canada. Often, this perspective came into conflict with the needs of the rural society at the time. Therefore, the widespread discontent within the rural society was illustrated through the various efforts of social reform in Canada during the 1860s–1960s. The first set of readings of this course outline the ways in which the hopes of the social reformers were to promote reform based on an "urban and modern orientation" through movements in agriculture, social welfare, and education. In doing so, the social reformers encouraged three kinds of developments: i) the promotion of an "urban orientation" through the reform of "agricultural education," ii) the promotion reform through social legislation, and finally iii) the promotion of reform in rural education to "progressive systems of education." Although the reformers saw the promotion of progressivism as a solution to the various problems within the rural society, the widespread discontent from the rural society depicted the ways in which the needs of the urbanites and the rural society came into conflict.
