An essay that looks at issues affecting Americans leading up to the Civil War. These included economic changes that led to new ideological, social, cultural, and political issues that further divided the nation along moral and regional lines. Reformers tried to address these issues. Influenced by the messages of self-discipline and individual achievement embodied in the Second Great Awakening, transcendentalism, and 'free labor,' these reform movements included temperance, women's rights, abolition, and states' rights.
