During the Second Great Awakening a lot of social reforms we're looked upon. A result from this was that prisons were being studied and looked into by Dorthea Dix. After this it was noted that a lot of simply mental ill people were in prison because there were no hospitals for these people. In many of the Southern States several mental hospitals and procedures for mentally ill prisons were put in place.http://bit.ly/2ftg91E

During this time, women demanded all sorts of change. One specific thing they demanded was to prohibit the drinking of alcohol. Although doctors used it on their patients it was bad for people that abused it. Women also wanted change in education. For example, Prudence Crandall, opened a school for girls in Canterbury, Connecticut and two years later admitted an african american girl. They decided that that school would be an african american school. Maddie Dosser
