In the mid-1800s several movements were organized to reform society. To reform something is to change it for the better. These movements were caused in part by the Second Great Awakening, a renewal of religious faith in the early 1800s. Groups tried to reform many parts of American society, but the two most important were the abolitionist movement and the women’s rights movement.

Abolitionist Movement:

The goal of the abolitionist movement was to end slavery. They believed in racial equality and wanted a quick end to slavery.

Women’s Rights Movement:

Many abolitionists also joined the women’s rights movements. Although the movement became organized at the Seneca Falls Convention in 1848 and women began winning some rights, they did not achieve the right to vote until 1920.

Temperance Movement:

Movement to stop the sale of alcohol
Led by women

Alcohol was blamed for many of society’s ills

Education:

“Education then, beyond all other devices of human origin, is the great equalizer of the conditions of men”

Horace Mann – father of public education

Other Reform Movements:

Labor movement – rights for workers
Prison and hospital reform – led by Dorothea Dix

here are some major conflicts i found. maybe pick one and do more research on it. (cause i ain't writing 6 paragraphs)

in 1877, the nez perce war took place.

1881 - president james garfield was assassinated.

1882 - the chinese exclusion act was passed.

1883 - a decision in the civil rights cases legalized racial segregation in the united states.

1887 - the dawes act was passed.

1893 - the panic of 1893 took place. (what a creative name)

and there are probably other topics you can find if you just search up "united states timeline," or "conflicts in the 19th century for america."

then once you find a topic you like find out how it affected the people of america and what not. (sorry if this feels a bit short changed, history was and never will be one of my strong topics)

the catholic church withhold people's access to the bible during the middle ages.

people could go to church and listen to the teachings, but it was absolutely forbidden to own and/or read the books of both the old and new testaments. it was also prohibited to translate the books (which where originally in biblical hebrew) to any other language.

this was done so the church could remain in control of what their teachings were and to enhance their importance and power, while also being able to judge people's actions through information that was unavailable for the general public.
