About this book

A revised edition of the "clear, readable, and persuasive account of [antebellum reform movements'] important impact on American society" (James M. McPherson, Pulitzer Prize–winning author of Battle Cry of Freedom).
For this new edition of American Reformers 1815-1860, Ronald G. Walters has amplified and updated his exploration of the fervent and diverse outburst of reform energy that shaped American history in the early years of the Republic.
Capturing in style and substance the vigorous and often flamboyant men and women who crusaded for such causes as abolition, temperance, women's suffrage, and improved health care, Walters presents a brilliant analysis of how the reformers' radical belief that individuals could fix what ailed America both reflected major transformations in antebellum society and significantly affected American culture as a whole.
"An account of antebellum reform that manages to be clear and readable without oversimplifying complex issues." — The Journal of American History
"[A] sprightly, sensible, and sympathetic book." — Journal of Church and State
