Susan B. Anthony is one of the most famous women’s rights activists. She was born in a Quaker family, and the Quakers believed that all men and women were created equal. She joined many different women’s rights movements, and she even became the second president of NAWSA, the National American Woman Suffrage Association. Susan believed that the only way that the government would continue to keep women’s best interest in mind was to fight for the right to vote.

An actual result to emerge from this social issue
Many women were inspired by The Second Great Awakening, and from this many different abolitionist and women’s rights groups formed. While they focused on many different things, like getting better jobs with better pay available to women, and spreading the word on how they are created equal to men, one of the main points was getting the right to vote. With the right to vote, women could have a say in what they wanted the government that represents them to be like.

An actual thing/result/concrete idea to happen because of the Second Great Awakening

A concrete idea that resulted from the Second Great Awakening was that your fate was determined by your own actions. It eliminated the idea of your fate being predetermined by God. Another thing that resulted from the Awakening was a new methodist church for African American slaves. When the Second Great Awakening was introduced it made African Americans care more about religion than it had in the past.

What is a result of the expansion?
The Westward Expansion affected many native american communities. Many Native Americans were forced to leave ancestral lands and become apart of the white culture. In the early 1830's, settlers from western Illinois and eastern Iowa greatly pressured the Native Americans to move west of the Mississippi river. The Natives were furious and convinced chief Black Hawk to start a rebellion against the Americans. The war ended in August of 1832 when more than 200 Sauk and Fox people were killed by the Iowa militia. As a result of the war the tribes were harshly forced to move West.

What parts of society did women demand there be change?
Women wanted to be equal in education, politics, legal issues, and employment.

Education: There were really no schools past elementary that would accept women. The only thing that women were expected to do was take care of the children and do the housework.

Politics: Women weren't allowed to work in the government and they couldn't even vote.

Legal Issues: When women got married all of her property was now owned by her husband. She couldn't buy her own land, and everything she earned (if she worked for money) was automatically her husband's.

Employment: Only one in five white women worked for wages when she was single and one in ten white women worked outside of the house before she was married. If she did work for wages, she earned only 1/2 that of a man for doing the same job.

Politically and physically how did the United States expand the country?
Politically most settlers pushed westward to escape debt or the law in search of economic gain. There was plenty of cheap and fertile land for the settlers to build their cities. Thomas Jefferson's 15 million dollar decision of the Louisiana Purchase from the French doubled the nation's size and allowed settlers to explore new beginnings. Physically the settlers migrated west through the Cumberland Gap, a natural path in the Appalachian Mountains. The westward expansion was America's manifest destiny or, "the great experiment of liberty".
