Civil War

 

            The Civil War was inhuman and the following years America saw great efforts to improve the society. Many worked hard to set up public schooling, improve the criminal justice system, create equal rights for men and women, and by 1840s and 1850 there was an attempt to end slavery. There was anxiousness during the antebellum years to make America perfect and free its people form evil. The forces that motivated and inspired this effort to remake and reform American society during the antebellum years were the equal rights for men and women, the anti slavery issue, and the education for children. .
             The equal rights for men and women were one of the issues that inspired the effort to remake the American society during the antebellum years. In the Declaration of Sentiments the issue was the rights for women. The goal was to create equal rights for women as men had. It included social, civil, and religious conditions and rights. Each and every human is endowed by the Creator and has the right to have the same rights no matter if you are male or female. Moreover, among the rights are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness; and the government has to secure these rights for them. It is the government that should change the laws so that everybody could be equal. All in all, in July 1848, in New York, women gathered together to decide the equal rights for everybody, which made an improvement in the American society. .
             Many were still slaves and still struggled for liberty. One of the problems that America had was the slave issue. William Lloyd Garrison believed that slavery was wrong and published The Liberator in 1831, in which he affirmed that all men and created equal, and they are made by the Creator and have rights - among which are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Moreover, as Andre Jackson viewed that man can be elevated and as they do they will be able to govern themselves.
