Before the American Civil War in 1854, and until the end of the period known as Reconstruction, it was possible to distinguish a radical faction in the Republican Party of the United States, integrated by slavery and secessionism eradication encouragers, opposed by a Conservative faction led by President Abraham Lincoln, and integrated by the anti-abolitionist and the anti-reconstruction Democratic Party.
The Radical Republicans sought to punish and destroy the political power of former slave owners, to establish civil rights for former slaves and the full implementation of emancipation, giving freed US slaves the right to vote. In contrast, the Moderate Republicans' goals promoted a modest position in order to bring the South back into the American Union as quickly as possible.
The Industrial Revolution changed the economy as it created more jobs, increased trade, and raised prices and lowered salary's. The Industrial Revolution opened a window for large business companies and factories for many, but factory life was very harmful and paid little to none. Thus requiring families to have children work just to have enough income for basic necessities. Trade was on the rise as goods were manufactured swiftly and efficiently.
The Industrial Revolution changed society as it caused urbanization, decreased safety, caused huge overcrowding and pollution. During the Industrial Revolution, safety within factories was not a priority and many workers were harmed or killed in work. Overcrowding occurred as many had to move from rural to urban areas to get jobs, thus crowding in slums and tenants. Pollution, specifically air and water pollution, was on the rise as smoke from factories increased green house gases and factories dumping out sewage in open bodies of water polluted the water.

Puritan Religious Life
The Puritans believed that God had formed a unique covenant, or agreement, with them. They believed that God expected them to live according to the Scriptures, to reform the Anglican Church, and to set a good example that would cause those who had remained in England to change their sinful ways.04/10/2015
