There were reform movements worth noting: a movement to help the disabled flourished from 1817-1851; a movement to ban alcohol ("prohibition", or the "temperance movement") began in 1826 and lasted until the 19th Amendment passed in 1919; and there were many experimental communities ("utopias") established from the 1820s to the 1840s.

Reform Movements efforts to reform: civil service (post civil war), disabled (1817-51), economic (1877-94), education (1837-55) temperance (1826-1919), slavery (1820-65), experimental communities (1820s-40s)
