“American reform movements between 1820 and 1860 reflected both optimistic and pessimistic views of human nature and society” Assess the validity of this statement in reference to reform movements in THREE of the following areas:

Education,

Temperance,

Women’s rights,

Utopian experiments

Answer and Explanation:

The reforms that occurred in America during the period between 1820 and 1860 attracted support (optimism) and criticism (pessimism). The major areas that witnessed a lot of reform were education, women’s rights, temperance, and utopian experiments. With regard to education reforms and utopian experiments, the quote (“American reform movements between 1820 and 1860 reflected both optimistic and pessimistic views of human nature and society”) is valid because the education reforms were very optimistic; on the other hand, although utopian experiments were mostly optimistic, they were also a bit pessimistic as well. The period between 1820 and 1860 witnessed very labor intensive changes in many policies and societal attitudes when attempts were made to reform education systems and advocate for change in temperance. With regard to women’s rights, the quote (“American reform movements between 1820 and 1860 reflected both optimistic and pessimistic views of human nature and society”) is valid because history proves that there were inspiring movements for women's rights; however, the movements were also faced with challenges and criticism.

i confess that there are several parts of this constitution which i do not at present approve, but i am not sure i shall never approve them: for having lived long, i have experienced many instances of being obliged by better information or fuller consideration, to change opinions even on important subjects, which i once thought right, but found to be otherwise. it is therefore that the older i grow, the more apt i am to doubt my own judgment, and to pay more respect to the judgment of others.
