Utopian societies are communities formed to create an ideal society and persuasion to change. One of the Utopian group in England were called the Shakers. They later on relocated to Northern America in 1774. The shakers were said to be a Utopian society because they were a group of people who believed in Christ's second appearance. They believed in community ownership and they had their own practices such as communal living, confession of sin, and much more. Their way of life best fit the definition of a Utopian society. However they were not the only Utopian society in the communities. There were many others such as, the Mormons and the Oneida utopia, just to mention a few. I hope this helps.
