New Harmony

Although the 1820’s was a time of industrialization, hopefulness and well being, it was also a time of sociable distress. Ideas of everyone being able to flourish in life arose during this time. The Harmony Society was a good example of how the beginnings of pre-communistic societies were formed. Though New Harmony made many contributions, it failed as a society.
By 1824, a Scottish industrialist named Robert Owen had ideas of creating a social system in which each human being’s needs were met through education, happiness and unity. He hoped to create a model community where educational and social equality would prosper. Through his communal system Owen believed that unity would prevail over individual interest. Everyone in the community would have a few hours of their own trade. He wanted a non-violence system in which all war and punishment were condemned.

New Harmony was a community, which basically failed because of the differences between the lifestyles of its inhabitants. It is valid to say that it wasn’t a well thought out organization because the separations of social class amongst the members were huge. New Harmony did not solve any problems of racism, equality, freedom, or liberty. It just was a temporary solution to the problems of certain people at the time. The New Harmony Society did not succeed; therefore it was not a good idea.

A year or so after the prosperity of New Harmony, its flaws started to show. By 1826 though New Harmony was set out to be a unified community, it really wasn’t. New Harmony was split into different communities with different interests. Religious differences started interfering with the equality of the people, because some people could not put their religious and racist views behind them, and didn’t perceive others as equal to themselves.
