Reforming American Society

If you lived in the mid-1800s, what would you have done to help reform American society? Would you have worked to help improve conditions for workers, to end slavery, and/or work with those involved in the Second Great Awakening? Explain...

If I would have lived in the mid 1800's I would have made there laws for working hours and ages. I would have worked to help the women and young kids' working conditions since they were so bad. I probably would not have ended slavery because that was most farmers got money to feed their families.

I would have worked to help improve conditions for workers but iwould also try to end slavery. Probably trying to end slavery would be the 1st thing i would do.

If I lived in the mid-1800's I would have tried to help working conditions for women and children. I would have tried to make it more safe. I would try to end slavery too. -Brooklyn McGuire

I would have worked hard and invented many new things. End slavery because slavery was wrong and i would have beat anybody who was a slave owner.
