19th Century Reforms: Crash Course US History #15
Economy | Information | History | Online | Facts | World | Global | Money
In which John Green teaches you about various reform movements in the 19th century United States. From Utopian societies to the Second Great Awakening to the Abolition movement, American society was undergoing great changes in the first half of the 19th century. Attempts at idealized societies popped up (and universally failed) at Utopia, OH, New Harmony, IN, Modern Times, NY, and many other places around the country. These utopians had a problem with mainstream society, and their answer was to withdraw into their own little worlds. Others didn't like the society they saw, and decided to try to change it. Relatively new protestant denominations like the Methodists and Baptists reached out to "the unchurched" during the Second Great Awakening, and membership in evangelical sects of Christianity rose quickly. At the same time, Abolitionist societies were trying to free the slaves. Americans of the 19th century had looked at the world they were living in, and decided to change it.

The picture of Joseph Smith's murder is not correct in this video. Joseph Smith was shot and killed along with his brother, Hyrum Smith.

He may have gotten a 3, but that was decades ago. Remember: just because you take a test now doesn't mean you are done learning or that you can never become smarter than you are now.
Don't let a test hold you back from trying to learn more. Even if you don't perform as well as you'd like, you are and can still be an intelligent person.
Never give up! Never surrender!
