  • Summary

  • As America expanded, divisions grew across the young nation. At the same time, reformers worked to reshape and improve society for many people. The early 19th century was a time of both conflict and progress.

    In this episode of The U.S. History Curriculum Companion, we explore the growing tensions over slavery and the economic differences that fueled sectionalism. We also examine the major reform movements of the era, including abolitionism, women’s rights, temperance, and education reform. From the Missouri Compromise to the Seneca Falls Convention, this period set the stage for the Civil War and lasting social change.

    This episode is designed to accompany our Sectionalism & Reform unit in American History, which includes resources and lessons designed for middle school and high school classrooms.

    Students of History provides engaging lessons and resources for every unit in American History, along with World History, Civics & Government, and World Geography. You can learn more at Students of History.
