Transcendentalism- What is it? Focus on self-reliance, nature, and individuality Said people can transcend (rise above) material things in life to reach a higher level of intellect Claimed did not need organized religion to do this You approach perfection when you acquire knowledge about God, yourself, and the universe What does this mean??? Who does this threaten? EMPHASIS ON SIMPLICITY, SELF-RELIANCE, AND NATURE (also Civil Disobedience for Thoreau) Henry David Thoreau Ralph Waldo Emerson Can you make any connections with modern groups?

Mentally Ill and Penitentiary Reform Before the Reform: Persons with mental illness were imprisoned and horribly mistreated (“chained, naked, beaten with rods, and lashed into obedience!”) Other prisoners grossly mistreated as well Results of Reform: Mentally ill removed from prisons and put into separate institutions with 24 hour care Leads to later prison reform Penitentiary system created- purpose was rehabilitation

Nat Turner’s Rebellion Video 1831- Nat Turner: Enslaved Preacher Led More than 80 slaves in bloody rebellion in Southampton, Virginia Whites were outraged Led to increase in control of African Americans (slave and free)

New Restrictions No public speaking w/o white supervision No reading/writing No working independently “slave codes”

What did Congress do? Not a whole lot… Abolitionists flooded Congress with petitions to end slavery Congress Created Gag rule (limited debate on issues, i.e. slavery)‏
