Answer 1

Answer: A reformer must decide upon proper goals and tactics: e.g., should one attempt to change attitudes or behavior first; fight for piecemeal or wholesale reform; use forceful or peaceful tactics? Further, a reformer must be prepared to face enormous pressures, recriminations, and outright economic or physical attacks from those (usually in the majority) who resist change.

Answer 2

Answer: The impulse to reform in the 1830s had many causes: religious, philosophical, literary, economic, and psychological. Reform efforts included creation of utopian communities, temperance, improving health, humanizing asylums and prisons, women's rights, and the abolition of slavery. In various reform societies, Americans found jobs, purpose, spouses, and relief from the uncertainty of a changing world.

Answer 3

Answer: A new two-party system emerged amid the conflicts of Jackson's presidency and mirrored the growing diversity of a changing nation. The Democrats espoused liberty and local rule. They favored a laissez-faire government in terms of both economic and cultural affairs. By contrast, the Whigs viewed government as a proper agency for both economic development and moral regeneration.
