A group called the American Temperance Society was founded in 1826, and they believed that no one should drink alcohol. Many people believed that alcohol led to poverty and mental illness, and that it affected work quality. By 1835, 9 years after the ATC was founded, there were more than 5,000 societies fighting for a reduction in alcohol consumption. After years of trying to create change, alcohol consumption levels dropped, and many states passed strict laws on purchasing alcohol.]]> 2016-11-20 20:08:39 UTC https://padlet.com/fchsee/x89uzibed4g6/wish/138958688 fchsee https://padlet.com/fchsee/x89uzibed4g6/wish/138959721 Many people in the 1800's believed in a perfect society called a Utopia, coming from the Greek word "ou top" meaning no place.The term was originally coined by Sir Thomas More. People in the United States were urging for a more perfect society where everything was perfect and there was no injustice. There were many experiments with Utopia, but nothing was ever completely perfect. The discovery was made that humans lived better in small groups, which produced the result of a decent outcome. ]]> 2016-11-20 20:17:46 UTC https://padlet.com/fchsee/x89uzibed4g6/wish/138959721 fchsee https://padlet.com/fchsee/x89uzibed4g6/wish/138960213 The Seneca Falls Convention took place in 1848, and it was the first time that women felt they were allowed to speak.

At the end of the Convention, 100 people signed the Declaration of Sentiments and Resolutions, 32 of which were men.

With more immigrants coming in, and more expansion into new parts of the country, there were more diversity than ever. There was also more sectionalism between the states and cultures. Change within America was bringing out the side in people that didn't like change, causing discrimination and confrontations between fellow Americans. ]]> 2016-11-20 20:36:36 UTC https://padlet.com/fchsee/x89uzibed4g6/wish/138961194 fchsee https://padlet.com/fchsee/x89uzibed4g6/wish/138962563 In the passages for the Contending Voices there are two distinct voices.
