The Abolitionist movement in the United States of America was an effort to end slavery in a nation that valued personal freedom and believed “all men are created equal.” Over time, abolitionists grew more strident in their demands, and slave owners entrenched in response, fueling regional divisiveness that ultimately led to the American Civil War. The abolitionists movement began in the revolutionary era, in response to unfair treatment of slaves. Although slavery ended in the north, the south continued to slave African-Americans. Both black and whites were involved in this case. Many people created newspapers and stories to help portray their idea of no slavery.This movement also paved the way for the women rights movement.

Alcohol was abused by men, women, and even children. Alcohol potentially caused mental illnesses, crime, the breakup of families, and the faster rate of death. In the late 1820's, the Temperance Movement was started. The Temperance Movement was a public campaign against the sale or drinking of alcohol. People wanted the abstinence of alcohol or less availability to those who drank it continuously. By 1850, Maine forbade the sale of alcohol and other states shortly with similar legislation. Though the laws were later repealed , the movement again gained strength in the late 1800s.
