The 5 Reforms
Tray Robinson
Abolitionism
From the 1830s until 1870, the abolitionist movement attempted to achieve immediate emancipation of all slaves and the ending of racial segregation and discrimination.
Frederick Douglas was a major factor in the movement and had insight on it because he was once a slave. Nat Turner is a prominent leader among slaves and will do anything to help abolish it. William Lloyd Garrison is the head of the Abolitionist movement.
Temperance
The American Temperance Society is at the fore front for the movement against alcohol. we believe alcohol should be no longer legal because we it does more harm than good and it sometimes causes problems in the home.
Educational Reform
Horace Mann started this group so that our educational system can flourish and become greater and have a better program. We wish to improve the curriculum so that our nation can become more educated and achieve more. We have already started public universities and states are spending more their education programs.
Womens Rights
In 1848 we had our Seneca Falls convention that got the word out to many women we had more than 300 women come out and support. Not only were Elizabeth Candy Stanton and Lucretia Mott supporters of women's rights they were also ardent abolitionists.
Mental Health Reform
Dorothea Dix is the greatest reformer for prisoners and and the mentally ill. She is pushing for separate facilities for prisoners and the mentally ill so they can receive treatment. she has almost nearly gotten 100 facilities established.
