    • Temperance Movement: high rate of alcohol consumption promoted the Protestant ministers and those concerned with effects of heavy drinking to found the American Temperance Society to stop alcoholism in 1826. Issue of slavery eventually overshadowed this movement.
    • Humanitarian Reforms: As a way to alleviate the suffering of criminals, emotionally disturbed persons, and paupers, reforms set up new public institutions. These included mental hospitals, schools for the deaf and blind, and prisons. 
    • Public Education: Middle-class reformers sought to establish free public schools for all classes due to growing numbers of uneducated people. Religious private schools were founded, as well as new colleges.
    • The role of women changed due to growing industrialization. Women were now seen as in charge of the household and children. Fights for women’s rights grew as well. This and slavery were the topics most called for reform.
    • Anti-slavery Movement: Growing tensions began between the North and South due to the controversy of slavery. An anti-slavery movement was funded. Slaves were already trying to escape to the North and Canada, revolts were also a major concern.

    • Universal male suffrage allowed all white males the right to vote wheather they had land or not. (Blacks and women could not vote.) This led to a sevenfold increase in voters. 
    • Large national parties were the Democrats and Whigs but other parties began to emerge. 
    • Spoils system: Jackson replaced fired previous holders of office who were not democrats in order to keep everyone loyal to him.
    • Indian Removal Act: Jackson’s solution to the Indians was to remove them and send them further West in Mississippi. After Jackson’s presidency, the Cherokee were forced out of Georgia leading to the “Trail of Tears.”
    • Two-Party System: Jackson’s supporters were called Democrats and supporters of Henry Clay were Whigs. Whigs resembled the Federalists.
    • Jackson attacked the national bank by withdrawing all federal funds and giving them to “pet” banks. This led to inflation due to the banks quickly printing more money.

  • The South was mostly made up of traditionalists. The impacts of reforms were mostly in the North and West. Southernera were mostly slow to support public education and humanitarian reforms. When the anti-slavery movement began and quickly grew, the South was alarmed and threatened because they believed this was a threat from the North.
