SO SO

The Age of reform was a time of change. Soon as the century started it was a religious revival, a lot of people started to believe in individualism. As a result the Second Great Awakening occurred, this was a time that the churches was motivating people to come to church. Especially since the sudden decline in the attendance at church. Women normally were the center of the revival of the church, but in the south this was not possible because of the no tolerance attitude that the Southern men contain. Charles Finney was another leader in this the revival of the church preached that through hard work and good deeds, people could find salvation. This lead to the many reform movements during the Age of Reform.

The grassroots movements was reasonably successful in achieving their goals because of the women's right movement through the Seneca Fall Convention. Women's right during this period was limited, they were a step above a slave. Women's right was increased when Republic Motherhood was introduced. But the women's right still were limited, so the women's right advocates met for the Seneca Falls Convention. This is where women like Elizabeth Stanton and Lucretia Mott met to discuss the rights of the women in America. The women at the convention came up with a list called the Declaration of Rights Sentiments, which later included obtaining the right for women to own property. This document stated that all men and women are created equal and they should have the same rights. As a result of this Republic Motherhood was eventually replaced with Cult of Domesticity. Which was similar to Republic Motherhood, but was now more respected by the respected by the men. Women still was unable to vote despite the Declaration of Rights Sentiments. This period was called the antebellum period.

The southern was furious at the action of the abolitionists, they felt that the north was taking away their economy. The people in the south hated the abolitionist so much that they attacked Garrison, and killed an abolitionist name Elijah Lovely in Illinois. Also they rebellion of Nat Turner, slave that lead a rebellion in Virginia, lead the southerners to detest Garrison and the other abolitionists. The southern came up with a list of five reasons why the slavery is right, all which had nothing to do with the immoral reasons for it being wrong.

The grassroots movements was reasonably successful in achieving their goals because of public education through the McGuffey's Electric Reader. The McGuffey's Electric Reader was the first book that taught kids reading, writing, and arithmetic. It was the past replica of the present day textbook. Another big player in public education is Horace Mann. He wrote a document called the Common School Journal and the Annual Report. In his document the Common School Journal, Mann pointed out the problems that he had with the public school system. Especially the factor that schools shouldn't remain ignorant and free, he believed in a popular education. Horace Mann also believed that the schools should be diverse. The public school system that Horace Mann set up in Massachusetts became the base of all public school systems in America.

Physical abuse and neglect was the way that they contain control in prisons as well as mental institutes. Dorthea Dix was against the inhuman treatment of the insane. She lead to the humane measures through the discipline and the moral improvements of the inmates. Dorthea Dix encouraged the state governments to provide hospital. She help build the first flock of American mental institutes.

Women's Rights was not completely achieved but they improved a little even though they were still treated like second-class citizens. Abolition was not also completely achieved, William Garrison goal was to emancipate slavery. After the southern was not complying this lead to the creation of the Underground Railroad. The public education reformers were successful, through the actions of Horace Mann and also the McGuffey's Electric Reader. The prison reformers were also successful through the action of Dorthea Dix, whom set up the first generation of American mental asylum.

"MY COUNTRY IS THE BEST"

In the early 19 century the United States quadrupled, since the constitution. This happens because the United States foreign policy has always contained expansionist tendencies. The first four presidents of the United States, all had the ideology that the nation should spread across the country. Especially since the Proclamation of 1763 which left a vast amount of territory in the western part of the country open. Nationalism played a huge role in the formulation and application of the United States foreign policy in the early nineteenth century because of the country need more resources, the Manifest Destiny which gave the United States the right to expand westward, and prevented Europeans from colonizing the western hemisphere through the Monroe Doctrine.


Nationalism played a colossal role in the formulation and application of the United States foreign policy in the early 19 century because the country needed more resources. The manufactures in the United States supported the expansion west because of the more access to the abundance of natural resources. So , the manufacturing companies believed that the expansion westward will not only help them but in all help the country to better their economical conditions. The farmers were another group that was for the expansion westward also because they believed of the country went westward that they could eventually become landowners. Investors and industrialist were also for the expansion because they believed that it could be more profitable for them. The based of the foreign policy was the expansion of the country.


Nationalism played a elephantine role in the formulation and application of the United States foreign policy in the early 19 century because of the Manifest Destiny. The Manifest Destiny stated that the United States had the GOD GIVEN RIGHT to spread its beliefs across the continent of the United States. This attitude that the Americans possess eventually lead to the Mexican America War. The Mexican American War was a war between the Untied States and Mexico. The United States were expanding westward into current day Texas. Unsatisfied the United States had to expand further to current day California through New Mexico territory. The war ended with the Treaty of Guadalupe-Hidalgo in 1848 which lead to the United States purchasing California and New Mexico from Mexico for 15 million dollars. Another problem was the Cherokee Indians, whom were driven westward, despite the ruling of Chief of Justice John Marshall. Which was that the United States did not have any control over the Cherokee Indians territory.


Nationalism played an immense role in the formulation and application of the Untied States foreign policy in the early 19 century because of Monroe Doctrine, which prevented Europeans from colonizing the western hemisphere.

The doctrine also stated if the Europeans stay out of the Western Hemisphere then the United States will stay out of European.

The country needed resources was a significant reason why the United States expanded westward. Also the Manifest Destiny was important because the Americans believed that it was a justified reason for their expansion.
