Reform Movements SAQ The Abolition Movement vs. Other Reform Movements
The abolition movement was similar to other reform movements that arose in the midnineteenth century in the sense that they all had the same thoughts, ideas, and individuals involved in these movements, and also looked to reform society along a more egalitarian course; it was different from these other movements because its main focus was not that of a political reform movement, but rather a moral reform movement, while having very distinctive central ideals. The similarities between the abolition movement and other reform movements in this time, like the Women’s Rights Movement and the Second Great Awakening, were that they all sought to be give full rights, dignity and citizenship to those who were considered “outcasts” and were deemed unimportant by most people in society. The differences between the abolition movement and other reform movements was that the abolition movement was mainly a movement of moral rather than political reform.
The similarities between the abolition movement and other reform movements was that they mainly focused on equality and fairness for all people. The individuals who were involved in these movements sought to give those people in society who were considered irrelevant, or
“outcasts,” such as blacks or immigrants, the rights and dignity that all people deserved; they worked to reform society along more egalitarian lines. These reform movements were based around the principle that all people are created equal and are deserving of equal rights and freedoms. They worked towards creating a more unbiased society and towards eliminating discrimination among the excluded groups. The differences between the abolition movement and other reform movements had to do with the fact that the abolition movement was not based on political reform; it was based primarily on moral reform.
