3 During the 19th century, a variety of movement changed the way that Americans believe, think, and act. In the early
1800s, a wave of interest in religion called the Second Great Awakening swept the nation. In this spirit of reform, some
reformers called for temperance—drinking little or no alcohol. The religious movement led to a general reform
movement. Horace Mann was an education reformer in Massachusetts, which was the

rst state to support “normal”
schools to train teachers. Other reformers worked to expand education for women, African Americans, and people
with disabilities. American writers and artists began to develop their own style. The transcendentalists wrote about the
relationship between humans and nature and the importance of individual conscience. Other authors of the time such
as Henry Wadsworth Longfellow and Walt Whitman wrote poems that re

ected American history and spirit.
During the 1800’s, the abolition movement and women’s’ rights movement increased in popularity. Around 1830,
the antislavery movement gained new strength. Abolitionists used newspapers and other writing to spread their views.
Many African Americans also worked to end slavery. Harriet Tubman was active in the Underground Railroad, which
was a network of escape routes enslaved workers used to reach freedom in the North or Canada. At
rst, few
Northerners supported abolition. They worried that freed enslaved workers would take away jobs in the North and
would not blend into American society. Many Southerners opposed ending slavery, saying it would destroy their way of
life. Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton led the women’s movement together to
ght for equality for

women. In 1848, reformers met at Seneca Falls, New York, to address women’s rights. The Declaration of Sentiments
and Resolutions that they passed called for an end to laws that discriminated against women. It also demanded that
women be allowed to work at jobs typically held by men, such as in business. They included the demand for voting
rights and equal pay in the declaration.
