The blacks came to rebel against the whites for the demand of freedom and individuality. A number of blacks and whites came up and spoke out against slavery. They had enough of this madness. Many felt that the only way the United States cold have "liberty and equality for all" was to end slavery. 

Major people in the Abolitionists Reform was William Lloyd, Angelina and Sara Grimke, Fredrick Douglass, Sojourner Truth, and Harriet Tubman .

Multiple people tried their best to abolish slavery so people could treat each other with the same respect. They have had enough of the pain and decided to break the chain. ]]> 2018-03-21 16:10:57 UTC https://padlet.com/LuckyClover5997/z8vlo0phd5nw/wish/244610223 Prison Reform and Care of the Disabled LuckyClover5997 https://padlet.com/LuckyClover5997/z8vlo0phd5nw/wish/244610363 In the 1800s, people thought the mentally ill has something wrong with them so they would just put them in jail. They didn't think they needed to be taken care of and just left them there. But a certain lady named Dorothea Dix came of with the idea to be kind to those in jail in the mentally ill. So one day she decided that it would be a good idea to teach a Sunday school class for the prisoners. Little did she realize that at the time her kindness would lead to a reform effort in the area of prison and treatment of the mentally ill. Dix was overwhelmed by everything she saw in the prisons: inmates bound in chains and locked in cages, children jailed with adults, little food and water, prisoners crowed into damp, dark cells. A large amount of them were judged "insane" were locked away in jail, where they were whipped or beaten because of their behavior.

After opening everyone's eyes about how serious this situation is about the poor conditions for those of the mentally ill and in prison, the lawmakers where shocked and voted to create a new law where they would make a new place fore the mentally ill could stay. Because of this, Dix was able to get her dream of: the outlawing of cruel punishments, the discontinuing of debtors' prisons and the creation of a special justice system for children.
