Answer:
These reform movements sought to promote basic changes in American society, including the abolition of slavery, education reform, prison reform, women's rights, and temperance (opposition to alcohol).
Explanation:
- The abolition of slavery was one of the most powerful reform movements. Quakers and many churches in New England saw slavery as an evil that must be abolished from society. They targeted slave owners who profited off of enslaved people's labor. Harriot Tubman, who helped people escape, and Frederick Douglass, a self-educated and forceful orator and writer, proved be powerful speakers. Abolitionists came to the defense of African Americans accused of running from their masters when law officials threatened to return them. Abolitionism was anathema to Southerners and not popular in many areas of the North, but they moved slavery to a central focus in American political life.
- Alcohol ruined families and bred crime, especially in the growing urban centers of the East. Drinking was sinful, and it was the government's responsibility to remove this temptation, in the view of the temperance advocates. They ran candidates on the Prohibition Party in elections, who were rarely successful, and pressured elected officials to make the manufacture and sale of alcohol illegal
- Other reforms attracted similar attention, though never to the degree of prohibition and abolition. Some groups advocated for better treatment of the insane and more humane prisons. Advocates for women's rights used tactics similar to the prohibition and abolition movements to demand the right to vote. In fact, many of the same people participated in several reform causes.
What is the practice question
Pennsylvania was a Quaker colony meaning any religion was allowed,so that means it religion wasn't affected,until the 19th century that is. :) hope it helped!
1. Avoid Germany get the whole blame regarding the war and make every Central Power responsible for it. Therefore, the indeminizations and war reparations is shared by all central powers.The amount of Germany had to pay for the allies left the nation defenseless in economical crisis and was a major factor in the hyperinflation of the 1920's.2. Avoid France occupies the Ruhr industrial area. Not only that exacerbated the german revanchism feelings but it ignited the popularity of the nazis.-I would diminish the hard conditions on the german military. That being, the prohibition of having an air force and submarines. This was a big blow on Germany's pride and was seen as an humiliation which of course was used by Hitler on it's favour. 3. Avoid confrontation at the Society of Nations. By that, I would have enabled both the USSR and Germany to become members if they wanted. By approaching Germany into become a friend and not keeping them as enemies I think not only Weimar Republic would have survived but also it would have diminished the popularity of Hitler.
