Answer 1

The correct answer is option C. was founded by New England transcendentalists.

Step-by-step explanation:

Brook farm was a transcendental experiment conducted by a utopian community in New England.

Its founder was George Ripley and his wife Sophia Ripley, along with other progressive Unitarians. They were responsible for launching this project in 1841, until its bankruptcy in 1847.

It had a lot of influence on abolitionism, the rights of women and workers.

The main idea of the Brook Farm was to bring the thinker and the worker together, to achieve a labor benefit for everyone, through the advantages of a good education.
