Social Studies Dictionary - Abolitionist Movement Definition and meaning of Abolitionist Movement Abolitionist Movement The abolitionist movement began in the Revolutionary era, partially in response to the inhumane treatment of slaves and partially in an effort to remove blacks from white society. The movement in the late 1700s concentrated on freeing the slaves as a humane act. Quakers in Pennsylvania established the first anti-slavery society in the world in 1775. Interest in returning slaves to Africa resulted in the formation of the American Colonization Society in 1817. The Republic of Liberia, established in 1822 on the west coast of Africa, served as a destination for approximately 15,000 slaves freed and returned. However, most slaves considered Africa a foreign culture and sought freedom and a home in America. In the 1830s American abolitionists sought to follow the example set in the West Indies by the British who freed the slaves in 1833. The religious revivals of the Second Great Awakening also inspired abolitionists to speak out against the sin of slavery. Abolitionists published anti-slavery publications including pamphlets and newspapers. Supporters of William Lloyd Garrison, a vocal abolitionist and publisher of the newspaper The Liberator, formed the American Anti-Slavery Society in 1833. African Americans played a key role in the abolitionist movement, most notably Frederick Douglass and Sojourner Truth. Realizing they needed a political voice, abolitionists supported the Liberty Party in 1840, the Free Soil party in 1848, and the Republican party in the 1850s. Abolitionists realize their goal with the passage of the 13th Amendment.

Social Studies Dictionary - Reform Movements Definition and meaning of Reform Movements Reform Movements Efforts to reform society, or change it for the better, took on renewed purpose in the early 19th century as reformers gained confidence in themselves and worked to share their good fortune with others. Factors which increased reform activity included a new surge of religious revivals during the second Great Awakening and the growing abolitionist movement. Reformers believed they could improve society by sharing religion and education with the less fortunate. Upper class men and women in the northeast led the effort. The most powerful reform movements were led by abolitionists and by suffragists. The abolitionist movement gained support during the 1830s and 1840s. At the same time, women realized their position in society needed reforming. The suffrage movement emerged as a result. Abolitionists in the United States sought freedom for African-American slaves while suffragists sought equal rights for women, particularly the right to vote. These efforts to attain civil rights culminated in the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Reformers also strove to correct unfair labor practices; improve living conditions for the poor, the imprisoned, alcoholics, and the disabled; and ensure that education was widely available. Reformers who became frustrated with their attempts to effect change sought refuge in their own utopian societies, ideal communities where they could live by their own standards of conduct.

Social Studies Dictionary - Westward Movement Definition and meaning of Westward Movement Westward Movement The first British and French settlements in North America were on the east coast. The lands to the west lured explorers, farmers, businessmen and others interested in expanding the United States. Many issues made the westward movement of people and business difficult. Native Americans slowed settlement as they fought to preserve their homes and hunting grounds. States and nations disputed boundaries. Some politicians in the United States favored annexing Texas because it would limit the involvement of Britain in that area. Others feared conflicts with Mexico over control of the territory. The Mexican War (1846-1848) settled the dispute. In the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, Mexico recognized Texas as a state and gave up any claims to the territory. Also in the 1840s President Polk and others were interested in settling Oregon to guarantee control of North America from the Atlantic to the Pacific Oceans. Many believed this was the "manifest destiny" of the United States. Polk attempted to declare the parallel of 54¡40' as the northern boundary of the United States but Britain refused. The nations compromised in 1846 by dividing Oregon Country and establishing the 49th parallel as the northern border of the United States and the southern border of Canada extending from the Great Lakes to the Pacific Ocean.

Registered practitioners may include graduates of The Feldenkrais Method, the Alexander Technique, and other movement-based disciplines.
