Answer 1

Answer: Henry David Thoreau

Answer 2

Answer: Methodist

Answer 3

Answer: As the expected moral guardians of society, women joined various reform organizations, especially those to abolish slavery. They gained valuable experiences in organizational tactics and a growing awareness of the similarities between the oppression of women and that of slaves. In 1848, Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Lucretia Mott organized a convention in Seneca Falls, New York, to offer a declaration of women's rights, especially the sacred right to the elective franchise.

Answer 4

Answer: Despite differences, abolitionists agreed more than they disagreed and generally worked together. The public hostility to abolitionists was extreme, resulting in mob attacks, censorship of the mails in the South, and even passage of a gag rule to stop discussion of antislavery petitions in Congress. Such attacks and restrictions elicited sympathy for the protection and rights of the abolitionists and kept the issue in the public eye.

Answer 5

Answer: The abolitionists split into factions over ideological differences between colonizationists, gradualists, and immediatists. They also differed over the tactics of ending slavery: moral suasion, political action, or advocacy of violence. Class differences and race further divided abolitionists as well as the question of women's roles within the movement.

Answer 6

Answer: Utopian communities seemingly offered alternatives to a world characterized by factories, foreigners, flawed morals, and greedy entrepreneurship. Americans seemed too individualistic, ill-suited for communal living and work responsibilities. Other recurring problems included unstable leadership, financial bickering, public hostility, and waning enthusiasm after initial settlement.
