CHAPTER 1: THE WORLD DURING THE TIME OF RIZAL

* Philippines- still a colony of Spain, largest and richest in terms of natural resources and trade potential
* 19th century reform movements are political movements such as abolitionism or temperance which played a significant role in the political life of the nineteenth century. The movements found organizational form in the United States in organizations such as the American Anti-Slavery Society.

SPANISH RULE DURING THE 19TH CENTURY

During the 19th century Spain invested heavily in education and infrastructure. Through the Education Decree of December 20, 1863, Queen Isabella II of Spain decreed the establishment of a free public school system that used Spanish as the language of instruction, leading to increasing numbers of educated Filipinos.[82] Additionally, the opening of the Suez Canal in 1869 cut travel time to Spain, which facilitated the rise of the ilustrados, an enlightened class of Filipinos that had been able to expand their studies in Spain and Europe.
Puente de Claveria (Quezon Bridge)
A great deal of infrastructure projects were undertaken during the 19th century that put the Philippine economy and standard of living ahead of most of its Asian neighbors and even many European countries

    First reform in this time period was the American temperance movement. This was crucial because it was the first organized group to deal with alcohols impact on society and actually focused on the personal health and safety of American citizens. This was not the grandest of America’s issues though; in the early 1800s women had no rights outside of their household. Women could not vote, they could not own property, all they were good for was tending to house work as the men worked. This is often looked at with the transcendentalist movement of the 1830s, as they both revamp early family life and loosen the strict standards for women. In the 1800s slavery was a huge debate that divided our nation into pro-slavery and abolitionists. Many problems arose from this.…

    Early reformist ideas in the late nineteenth century contributed to the progressive movement in the early 1900s due to similar ideas and programs throughout both time periods. The economic, political, and social policies during the early twentieth century correspond with the reform movements of the late 1800s. While the changes in labor and trusts related to the formation of labor unions, and public operation and restraint of the government was similar to the Populist group and the ideas of corrupt legislators or companies, the reformist writers in the progressive era along with racial and gender equality movements were due to the influence of early writers and programs dedicated to equality. The connection between the reformers and the progressive…

    After America had established its own government, it also had to establish a new American culture. To improve its society and create a more stable culture it would need to undergo multiple changes. These changes were referred to as the reform crusades. Temperance supporting organizations were established limiting the amount of alcoholic liquors available to public. Religious leaders felt as though the public was beginning to lose interest in church so they began to travel across the frontier and preach to the people of the area. A women’s role in society became a more noticeable movement as women protested and held meetings all over the states. Education was changed to a more equal and organized learning experience for children. The reform crusades of the 19th century resulted in a number of positive revolutionary changes in the American culture.…

    Several factors led to a favorable climate for reform in each of the specific movements as well as one major factor that applied to all. The specific factors included a rising amount of alcohol consumption, leading to the Temperance Movement, poor education, of course leading to reform in education, and freed slaves reaching the North, helping with the abolitionist’s cause. The main factor, however, that applied to all of the movements and allowed them to better address their cause was the printing press and a growing readership of newspapers. Since more and more newspapers and propaganda were getting out there, and more and more people were beginning to read it, it made it so that the reformer’s causes were known to everyone.…

    The reform movements were centered on democratic ideas. One powerful and widespread movement in antebellum America was the fight for women’s rights. Many citizens called for the right by women to vote and the equality of women. They wanted women to have the freedom and equality that men do and as well as the right to vote. Also the invention of the cotton gin helped the cotton movement. The South increased the use of slavery in many states, which led to the reform movements started by those opposing slavery. Due to the Second Great Awakening, many people led a powerful movement against slavery called the abolitionist movement. This movement would eventually force people in the south to stop using slaves and find another way of making money from crop production. Another reform movement they were focused on was education. They wanted to have public school educations which first started in Massachusetts. They wanted to produce a better educated generation that would help them in the…

    On the tails of Populism, entering into the 20th century, Americans began to ask themselves, “what is freedom?” and “do we actually have it?” In the 20th century, people began to compare their definition of freedom with their circumstances, and did not like the results. The people, who realized they did not like their circumstances, rallied together to change their social or political circumstances. They began fighting for things such as equal pay, stopping corruption, or just better circumstances. Change became so imperative that by 1910, the word progressive began to summarize the American movement, eventually grouping the century into the century of progress or the Progressive Era. Though women and industrial workers fighting for their rights…

    The Augustinians and the Franciscan monks arrived after Legazpi had settled and started setting up schools. Education was extremely important to them. The children were taught in their indigenous languages which the monks embraced. However Spanish was spoken by those who had settled in the Philippines and was noted and invariably picked up by the natives. Spanish was not formally introduced to the school system until the 19th century. In 1863, Queen Isabella II of Spain decreed the establishment of a free public school system. The system used Spanish as the language of instruction as well as teaching the language as a compulsory subject. The amount of schools which were set up under the Spanish Rule was impressive; this led to the high level of education that children received in the country. This led to an educated class known as the Ilustrados; these were native-born Philippine poets, writers and intellectuals who wrote in Spanish and sought more reform from the…
