Reform Movements From 1825 To 1850
From 1825 to 1850, reform movements in the U.S sought to expand democratic ideals by Religion, morals, women's rights and abolitionism, which in the main part worked. However, Nativism did not support the idea of democratic ideals, and some didn’t support the reforms.
