The Reformation
By Haley Mauldin
Mental Health/ Prison
The mental health/prison reform was lead by Dorothea Dix. She wanted a facility for the mentally ill. She wanted a place for the mentally ill so they could get the proper help they could not get in prison for committing a crime.
Temperance
The Temperance movement was started in the 1800s.
This movement was created to get people to stop drinking completely.
When people took the pledge to stop drinking, it was known as joining the "Cold Water Army"
Womens Rights
The first gathering devoted to women’s rights in the United States was held July 19–20, 1848, in Seneca Falls, New York. The principal organizers of the Seneca Falls Convention were Elizabeth Cady Stanton. Women reformers addressed social and institutional barriers that limited women’s rights; including family responsibilities, a lack of educational and economic opportunities, and the absence of a voice in political debates
Abolition
This movement was to end Slavery.
The movements goals were to give freedom to Slaves in the United States. People were afraid to end slavery because they were scared of the immediate release of every slave.
The South was not happy about the movement because we benefited off the work of slaves, and it is how the south made their money.
Educational
The goal of this reform was to make education available to children. This movement was lead by Horace Mann who was a child only went to school 10 weeks, and spent the rest of his time working on the family farm like most other kids.
