Nationalism is a political principle or ideology that aims to unify the whole nation through the value of patriotism, in which each member should value the products produced by its nation, use its distinct language and never accept anything outside their sovereignty. This idea is accompanied by the belief that a certain country is far better than other countries, therefore there's a hidden idea of superiority. 

Although pride for one's nation is good; however, this principle led to discontent in the empires of the 19th and early 20th centuries due to the fact that this ideology bred the idea of racism and fascism. These ideas gave a negative impact on humanity.

The Nazi regime (1933-1945) under the dictatorship of Adolf Hitler controlled almost all the aspects of life not just to the Germans but to other races as well. This regime caused the holocaust of the early 20th century where millions of Jews and other people were killed for they were viewed as undesirable. Racism is actually the central feature of Nazi regime where Hitler viewed his country and people as the master of race and the superior of all.

The fascist government run by Benito Mussolini in Italy (1922-1943) is another example of nationalism. Fascism deals more on the economy of the country in which the government controls the private sector's factors of production, it's labor, capital goods, and natural resources. This type of government lured the masses by letting them believe that this control would give them general welfare to achieve their goals. Since the mass of people has been included, the private sector could no longer do anything to fight against the government mandated system. 

Both these two systems of governance use the idea of nationalism to override self-interests. They manipulate the mass of people to take control.

The idea of nationalism is naturally good, but the desires of men changed its purpose. It should ideally be applicable to those leaders who value humanity more than himself for this ideology breeds selfishness in the desire for power. 

Japan's nationalism over their technologies remains successful until these days because they serve the ideal purpose of nationalism, to love its own country by means of being patriotic.

From 1820 to 1848 and again from 1865 to 1898
Vedmedyk [2.9K]
Your question is rather vague by just giving dates ... but I think I know what you might be looking for here.  During the "antebellum" (before the Civil War) years and again in the years after the Civil War, there were strong movements by social activists that went against how society wanted to keep women and African Americans in "their place."  Social reformers thought that the place assigned to women or to blacks was not at all right.  They put forward better ideas of how black Americans and female citizens should have equal status with whites and with men in regard to political, social, and economic rights.  
The activist movements from 1820 to 1848 and again from 1865 to 1898 didn't achieve all their goals in that time period, but they began to advance the causes of civil rights for blacks and women -- both movements which would continue into the 20th century.
