Reform Movement
The Reform Movement refers to a series of social and political efforts in the 19th century aimed at improving various aspects of American society. Key areas of focus included abolitionism, which sought to end slavery, and women's rights, advocating for gender equality and suffrage. Other reform efforts addressed issues like education, temperance, and labor rights.
Prominent figures in the Reform Movement included Frederick Douglass, who fought for the rights of African Americans, and Elizabeth Cady Stanton, a leading advocate for women's rights.
