reform movements
By: Kassidy Thomas
Mental Health/ Prison Reform
Dorothea Dix had the idea to create 2 separate facilities for mentally ill people who've committed crimes and mentally stable people who've committed crimes. This began the Mental Health/ Prison Reform. You will be getting mentally ill people the help they need! Help us create the bill for the Indigent Insane and many mental hospitals.
Temperance
Have you ever thought about how alcohol is causing poverty, the break up of families and a whole lot of crime?! Join the American Temperance Society and help us make pamphlets, put together revival-style rallies, and give lectures about the dangers of alcohol. So that hopefully one day we will get an anti-alcohol law passed.
Education Rform
HELP MAKE EDUCATION MORE AVAILABLE TO CHILDREN! Horace Man (the father of American public schools.) only went to school 10 weeks a year. He eventually became the states supervisor of education. He lengthened the school year to 6 months and made improvements to the school curriculum. Help us continue to improve the school systems !
Womans Rights Reform
Politically, Economically and Socially women are considered "less powerful" to white men. Over the years, Women have been denied rights whether they were black or white, free or enslaved, rich or poor. Help us protest to get women's suffrage. #ALLMENANDWOMENCREATEDEQUAL
