This motivated her, and also her followers to travel to America. 
Ann Lee's visions did not begin until after the death of four of her children, who died during birth or infancy. 
The promoted idea of Shaker life was to serve under God, serve their duty to man, separate themselves from the world, have simplicity over language, have their right towards property, and also live a celibate life.

But he lost his license to preach because of his unusual beliefs and he and his family had to leave Putney and so he founded the Oneida Community in 1848. It was a religiously based community, dedicated to live as one family sharing work, love and property. People moved there I think because every member of this community is equal and each had a job to support the community. So Oneida was truly communist economically. Also the community was financially very productive especially in the production of silverware. They were trying to achieve the perfect community.

The New Harmony community was created by Robert Owens.
The purpose of the community is to establish the principle of rational ethics and not religion.
The reason people accepted the ideology is, because, people wanted to advance within the working class. 
Owen's was rebelling against the "trinity of evils". These "evils" consisted of private property, irrational systems of religion, and marriage founded on property and religion. 
The reason that this belief system failed is, because,  
Owen’s naive belief in the power of rational humanism was eventually denigrated by Karl Marx and Freidrich Engels.

Robert Owens was highly respectable when it concerns the social movements within England. However, he caused many frustrations within his followers. ]]> 2016-11-16 17:02:09 UTC https://padlet.com/8334176/7k51jbpxdvmt/wish/138161401 Brook Farm 2833477538 https://padlet.com/8334176/7k51jbpxdvmt/wish/138237460 The founder of Brook Farm was George Ripley. The community was in West Roxbury and existed from 1841 to 1847. He wanted to end the division of labor and educated classes. It's main ideas were individual freedom and humane relationships. Members of the Brook Farm were trying to work out to an economy that allowed everyone equal chances for social, intellectual and spiritual growth. They also believed that manual labor was uplifting so any member had to do at least some physical work er day.
That the community failed had a few reasons, George Ripley wanted to live stricter of the guidlines of Fourier's but many members did not want that and left. Furthermore there was a time of disease and many farmers got sick but the main turning point was the big fire in 1846.
