Aboltionist Movement
From the 1830s until 1870, the abolitionist movement attempted to achieve
immediate emancipation of all slaves and the ending of racial segregation, and discrimination. The goal was to gain the racially segregated freedom. Both movements share the common point of fighting for the freedom of innocent people.

Women's Rights
The women’s suffrage movement was the struggle for the right of women to vote and run for office and is part of the overall women’s rights movement. In the mid-19th century, women in several countries—most notably, the U.S. and Britain—formed organizations to fight for suffrage. Women were treated like they couldn't do anything, like useless people who couldn't lift a penny. Attention was brought to this topic when women would no longer put up with being simply a wife and mother. They fought for what they deserved, all the rights that the men had.
Temperance Movements
The Temperance Movement in Antebellum America was one of the largest moral reforms of its time. Hundreds of thousands fought for the prohibition of alcohol, rather than just limited use. After decades of working towards prohibition, the movement eventually lost traction in the years leading up to the Civil War as many of these groups disbanded. There were groups that worked towards prohibition, just like in the Prisons and Asylums reform there were many people.
Development of Utopian Communities
Utopian Communities were established while many reform acts were taking place. About 100 reform communities were established in the decades before the Civil War. It was a way of trying to create a perfect community away from so many reform movement. Realistically, the reform movement were trying to establish a utopian community by diminishing of anything that could possibly cause a dystopia.
Promotion of the Public School System
In the nineteenth century, the most important developments in the history of childhood and adolescence included the creation of public schools, first in the North in the Antebellum period. Late in the century, however, most children, even in the best financed school districts in the North, left school by the age of ten to twelve due to the primacy of work and other family obligations. Kids were often stuck at home or in a factory working at a much to early age, and getting barely any education. With the promotion of public schooling, it became clear to people that the kids needed to reach their full potential, as others did in the main idea of most of the movements.
