Reform Movements Of The 1800s
The document discusses several reform movements that occurred in the United States during the 1800s, including the women's rights movement, temperance movement, and abolitionist movement. The women's rights movement fought for more equal treatment of women, led by activists like Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton. They organized a convention in 1848 to discuss issues of inequality between men and women. It took until 1920 for women to be granted the right to vote with the passage of the 19th Amendment, despite the efforts of early leaders like Anthony and Stanton. The temperance and abolitionist movements also pushed for social reforms around banning alcohol and ending slavery during this time period.
Women's suffrage
The document summarizes the history of the women's suffrage movement in the United States from the early 1800s until 1920 when the 19th Amendment was ratified, guaranteeing women's right to vote. Key figures like Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Susan B. Anthony, and Carrie Chapman Catt led the movement and helped form organizations like the National Woman Suffrage Association to campaign for voting rights. Their efforts faced strong opposition for decades, but some western states led the way in granting women suffrage. The movement gained momentum in the early 1900s until the 19th Amendment was finally passed in 1920.
New Movements in America
The Second Great Awakening sparked new religious and social reform movements in the 1820s-1830s. Religious leader Charles Finney challenged traditional beliefs and advocated for individual responsibility and salvation through good deeds. Transcendentalists like Emerson and Thoreau promoted living simply and relying on personal judgment. Romantic artists glorified American landscape and individualism. Growing cities attracted millions of European immigrants, causing native-born Nativists to fear job losses. Women and reformers worked to improve prison conditions, temperance, education, and end slavery through abolition and the Underground Railroad.
Women's Suffrage
The American Woman Suffrage Movement spanned from 1848 to 1920 and sought to expand voting rights to women. It began at the Seneca Falls Convention in 1848 where women and men demanded equality and the right for women to vote. Over the following decades, suffragists advocated state-by-state for women's suffrage and pushed for a constitutional amendment, facing opposition from those who felt women were too emotional or fragile. By the early 1900s, more women were joining the cause. After suffragists engaged in more militant tactics, the 19th Amendment was passed in 1920, guaranteeing all American citizens the right to vote regardless of sex.
Women’s Suffrage
The women's suffrage movement began in 1848 at the Seneca Falls Convention, where Elizabeth Cady Stanton and others called for women's right to vote. Early success occurred in western states like Wyoming in 1869 and Utah in 1870, perhaps due to alliances with labor unions and temperance movements.
Two major suffrage organizations emerged: the National American Woman Suffrage Association (NAWSA), led by Carrie Chapman Catt, which took a more cooperative approach; and the militant National Woman's Party (NWP) that used hunger strikes to protest. The 19th Amendment, guaranteeing women the right to vote, was first introduced in Congress in 1878 but passage was accelerated by women's contributions to World War I
Second Great Awakening
The document summarizes the Second Great Awakening in American religious history. It began in the late 18th century and lasted into the mid-19th century, starting in the southern frontier and spreading northeast. Religious revivals promoted by camp meetings and preachers like Charles Finney converted many souls and established new denominations. The revivals had varied regional impacts and influenced the abolitionist movement through figures like Theodore Weld and Harriet Beecher Stowe's Uncle Tom's Cabin.
Second great-awakening
The Second Great Awakening occurred between the 1790s-1840s and sparked large camp meeting revivals across the United States. Notable figures included James McGready, who organized the powerful Cane Ridge revival in Kentucky that drew over 25,000 people. The revivals were emotional with people experiencing fits, jerks, dancing and other physical manifestations. In the East, Timothy Dwight led a revival at Yale that saw many students convert to Christianity. Charles Finney's preaching also saw many converts, though his teachings on salvation troubled some. The Second Great Awakening had wide social impacts through the spread of reform movements.
The Women’s Suffrage Movement
The women's suffrage movement fought for over 70 years for women's right to vote. The movement began at the Seneca Falls Convention in 1848 where the Declaration of Rights and Sentiments called for equal rights and participation for women. Throughout the late 19th and early 20th centuries, suffragists held large protests and parades demanding voting rights. Some suffragists were arrested and subjected to abuse while picketing the White House. By 1920, the 19th amendment was ratified, guaranteeing women the right to vote across the United States.

The Great Awakening
The Great Awakening was a religious revival movement that originated in the 1730s and 1740s in Britain and its American colonies. It arose in response to a perceived loss of piety due to the Enlightenment and a lack of traditional church structure on the frontier. The movement emphasized emotional religious experiences and justification by faith alone rather than good works. It promoted the idea that salvation was open to all and challenged the emphasis on predestination. The Great Awakening had consequences such as disputes over religious practices, the splitting of some churches, and a new vision of expanded religious liberty for individuals.
Women's suffrage
The cartoonist opposes woman suffrage. The cartoon portrays a frustrated husband coming home to find his wife has been out campaigning for suffrage instead of having dinner ready. His cuffs say "liquor interests" implying the liquor industry is fueling opposition. The cartoon suggests allowing women to vote would threaten liquor sales by empowering the temperance movement. By portraying suffrage as taking women away from their domestic duties and implying it benefits the liquor industry, the cartoon aims to turn public opinion against the suffrage movement.
The 2nd great awakening
The Second Great Awakening led to increased religious activity and conversions in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. It contributed to the growth of new religious movements and reforms. There was a shift towards abolitionism as many felt the nation should repent for slavery. The Grimké sisters played a key role in advocating for both the abolitionist and women's rights movements through speeches, writings, and petitions. Their efforts helped women gain a place in the public sphere advocating for their and slaves' rights.

Womens suffrage movement
The women's suffrage movement in the United States achieved women's right to vote gradually from the late 19th century through the early 20th century at state and local levels. In the 19th century, the idea of women's right to vote was radical. The movement gained national organizations like NAWSA in the 1890s and grew into a mass movement in the 1910s, influenced by the more radical British suffragettes. The 20th century focused on passing a national amendment through NAWSA's campaigning, which was finally ratified in 1920.
Jonathan Edwards and "The Great Awakening"
The document discusses Jonathan Edwards and the religious movement known as the Great Awakening that occurred between 1734-1750. It describes how Edwards sought to promote a "religion of the heart" that moved converts beyond moral duties to an ecstatic spiritual experience. While Edwards writing synthesized Puritan piety and Enlightenment philosophy, he wished to liberate humans from their senses rather than define them by senses. Edwards played a key role in revitalizing religious commitment through powerful sermons, but his dismissal from his church in 1750 showed the limits of the Awakening.
Women’s suffrage movement
The Women's Suffrage Movement began in 1848 at a tea party where Elizabeth Cady Stanton expressed her discontent with the fact that voting rights were limited only to white male property owners. This led to the first Women's Rights Convention being held in Seneca Falls, New York that same year. The movement faced significant backlash from newspapers and critics who felt women should not have the right to vote. Key figures like Susan B. Anthony and Sojourner Truth campaigned tirelessly over decades to raise awareness and support for women's suffrage, culminating in the passage and ratification of the 19th amendment in 1920, which guaranteed all American women the right to vote.
End of Reconstruction
1) Support for Reconstruction and black rights declined in the North due to economic hard times, racism, and a desire to focus on other issues.
2) President Grant's scandals weakened support for Republicans as corruption charges emerged.
3) By the 1870s, the Republican party shifted from advocating for equality to protecting business interests, contributing to the end of Reconstruction.
Impending Crisis
The document discusses several key political events and issues relating to the expansion of slavery in the United States between 1820-1860, including the Missouri Compromise, Compromise of 1850, Kansas-Nebraska Act, Dred Scott decision, Lincoln-Douglas debates, and John Brown's raid, highlighting the growing tensions between slave states and free states on the issues of states' rights and the extension of slavery into new western territories which eventually led to the Civil War.
First Great Awakening
The document discusses the First Great Awakening, a religious revival in American Protestantism that occurred in the 18th century. It notes key leaders like Jonathan Edwards and George Whitefield who preached to large crowds and traveled throughout the colonies. Their preaching helped spread the Great Awakening and convert people.

The Great Awakening increased religious diversity and tolerance in the colonies.
Women suffrage
The women's suffrage movement began in 1848 to fight for women's right to vote in the US. Key leaders included Susan B. Anthony, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Lucretia Mott, and Sojourner Truth. They worked for over 70 years to change discriminatory laws and convince states to grant women the right to vote. Tennessee became the 36th state to approve the 19th amendment in 1920, ensuring women nationwide had equal voting rights.
Manifest destiny
Manifest destiny was a 19th century belief that the United States was destined to expand from the Atlantic to the Pacific coast. It originated from an 1845 magazine article promoting US territorial growth. Advocates believed American ideals like liberty and economic opportunity should spread across North America. Manifest destiny fueled westward expansion, Native American removal, and the war with Mexico that resulted in large territorial acquisitions for the US.

Jackson's Presidency: 1828-1836
Jacksonian Democracy expressed itself in many ways. One way was through reform movements. The years 1830 to 1850 are sometimes called the Age of American Reform. In this lecture we will seek to understand why so many people involved themselves with intentional reform movements over societal problems such as drinking, prostitution, and slavery). We will also consider what overall impact those reforms had on American history. It is not a stretch to purport that the shape of our modern institutions—schools, hospitals for the mentally ill, prisons, etc.—is a legacy of this period. Granted, the later Progressive movement of the early 20th century refined and brought government intervention into these movements, but they had their beginning during this time period.
American Reform - Why Now?
First, why? Why at this particular time in history? Why didn’t this reforming impulse come earlier? One answer might be that the era of Jackson (he was president from 1828 to 1836) brought on a greater participatory democracy than the country had ever seen. It is true that with the emergence of universal manhood suffrage a sense of greater participation in national life followed. Many even saw this greater egalitarianism as a natural continuation of the gains of the Revolution.
· Participatory Democracy
· Universal Manhood Suffrage
· Maturing Enlightenment Philosophy
Some have argued that the maturing of Enlightenment Philosophy during this time called for the rejection of things like the inevitability of poverty and other social ills. And since Enlightenment thought does not stress man’s sinfulness per se one can see how thoughtful reflection within the parameters of this philosophical system would tend to focus on man’s ability to improve more and more.
Religious Impulse: Unitarianism (Liberalism) and Revivalism (Evangelicalism)
A major impulse that drove American Reform was religious. Two particular expressions of faith informed these 19th century movements. One was liberalism, more specifically Unitarianism—a movement especially in New England that, among other things, denied the Trinity and man’s sinfulness. The other was Evangelicalism - more specifically Revivalism born of what is called the 2nd Great Awakening—which had its own departures from orthodoxy.
First let’s look at Unitarianism. A New England minister named William Ellery Channing (1780-1742) was the leading Unitarian of his day. He stressed in his preaching (and this is a common tenet of Unitarianism) man is innately good. He said that the purpose of Christianity was “the perfection of human nature.” Central to this view is a denial of original sin. If man is not a sinner and he is naturally good, then if follows that he is perfectible. Many Unitarians, especially in New England, got involved in reform movement based on this premise of man’s perfectibility.

Dramatic economic and political changes in the 1820s and 1830s transformed how Americans viewed themselves and society. Many in the North believed they could improve their lives and society through reform, but faced obstacles like divisions along lines of race, gender, wealth, and religion. Reforms also threatened economic progress and traditional institutions and values.
Reforms
The document discusses various reform movements in the 1800s led by people fighting for change, including abolitionists who wanted to end slavery like Frederick Douglass, William Lloyd Garrison, and Harriet Tubman; temperance crusaders who wanted to reduce alcohol consumption; and early women's rights activists like Sarah and Angelina Grimke and Elizabeth Cady Stanton who organized the Seneca Falls Convention in 1848 calling for equal rights.

Module 4
The Second Great Awakening saw a revival of religious faith through large camp meetings and revivals in the early 1800s. This led to growth in church membership and influenced other religious and social reform movements. Abolitionists like William Lloyd Garrison and Frederick Douglass advocated the immediate end of slavery through publications like The Liberator. The Underground Railroad helped fugitive slaves escape to freedom. Meanwhile, women's roles were expanding as they joined temperance and abolition societies, and the women's rights movement emerged with the Seneca Falls Convention in 1848.
Reforms
The document discusses various reform movements in the 19th century United States, including abolition, temperance, women's rights, education reform, and prison/asylum reform. Key figures pushing for change included Frederick Douglass, William Lloyd Garrison, Harriet Tubman, Sojourner Truth, Lucretia Mott, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, and Horace Mann. The Seneca Falls Convention in 1848 was a landmark event that set the agenda for the women's rights movement, publishing the "Declaration of Sentiments" stating the equality of all people. Overall, the document outlines the growth of reform efforts during this period across many social issues.
Reform
The Second Great Awakening religious movement in the early 19th century inspired many reform movements in the United States. Religious preachers like Charles Finney promoted the idea that individuals were responsible for their own salvation and could work to improve themselves and society. This sparked activism around issues like abolitionism, temperance, prison reform, and women's rights. The religious revivalism of the period increased church membership and religious enthusiasm. It also contributed to the growth of new religious movements like Unitarianism and the development of the African American church.

Charles Grandison Finney – an evangelistic Presbyterian minister who became the most influential revival leader of the 1820s and 1830s.
Frederick Douglass – the greatest African American of all – and one of the most electrifying orators of his time, black or white – was Frederick Douglass. Born a slave in Maryland, Douglass escaped to Massachusetts in 1838, became an outspoken leader of anti-slavery sentiment. On his return to the United States in 1847, Douglass purchased his freedom from his Maryland owner and founded an antislavery newspaper, the North Star, in Rochester, New York. Douglass demanded for African Americans not only freedom but full social and economic social equality as well.
Henry David Thoreau – leading Concord transcendentalist. Thoreau went even further in repudiating the repressive forces of society. He produced the ideas that individuals should work for self-realization by resisting pressures to conform to society’s expectations and responding instead to their instincts. Thoreau’s own efforts to free himself – immortalized in is most famous book, Walden – led him to build a small cabin in the Concord woods on the edge of Walden Pond, where he lived alone for two years as simply as he could.
Horace Mann – the greatest of educational reformers was Horace Mann, the first secretary of the Massachusetts Board of Education, which was established in 1837. To Mann, education was the only way to “counterwork this tendency to the domination of capital and the servility of labor.” He reorganized the Massachusetts school system, lengthened the academic year (to six months, doubled teachers’ salaries, enriched the curriculum, and introduced new methods of professional training for teachers.
Joseph Smith - Mormonism began in upstate New York as a result of the efforts of Joseph Smith, a young, energetic, but economically unsuccessful man, who had spent most oh his twenty-four years moving restlessly through New England and the Northeast. In 1830, he published the Book of Mormon that told a story of an ancient and successful civilization in America, peopled by one of the lost tribes of Israel who had found their way to the New World centuries before Columbus.
Shakers – made a redefinition of traditional sexuality and gender roles central to their society and even embraced the idea of a God who was not clearly male or female.
