Movement for Social Reform Many reformers saw alcohol abuse as a serious problem facing the nation in the early 1800s Americans drank an average of 7 gallons per person/per year Reformers organized the Temperance Movement – limit alcohol consumption Believed that alcohol led to criminal behavior, family violence, and poverty Some reformers demanded Prohibition

Reforming Education Prior to 1840s, most schools were private, and most families couldn’t afford to send children to school Public Schools Reformers worried that existing schools wouldn’t meet demands of a growing nation Schools essential to educate in democratic values, create a literate and disciplined workforce Horace Mann (Mass. 1st Secretary of Education), 1837 united local school districts into a state system Public high schools develop

Women Declare Their Rights Issue of suffrage (vote) and property rights were of particular concern to female activists Married women had few rights to own property – even property they inherited Laws prevented women from gaining custody of children if they divorced husbands Elizabeth Cady Stanton took the effort to lead efforts to address women’s issues

Stanton argued that the right vote was crucial to winning equality Stanton and (Lucretia Mott) held the first American meeting on women’s rights in Seneca Falls, New York Seneca Falls Convention About one third of the 300 people in attendance signed the Declaration of Sentiments Called for legal reforms that would grant married women the right to control property and earnings and to gain custody of their children in the event of a divorce Insisted that women get the right to vote Stanton argued that the right vote was crucial to winning equality

Anthony Grew up in a family that supported equality of men and women In 1851, Anthony met Elizabeth Cady Stanton Stanton convinced Anthony to shift focus from Temperance to women’s rights Anthony’s work critically important to women’s rights Gave speeches, organized petition campaigns, raised money Anthony and Stanton campaigned for total property rights in NY – resulted in Married Women’s Property Act (married women could own property)
