1 comment:
1. Deism- a belief that a supreme natural God exists and who created the universe and those religious truths can be arrived at by reasoning and observations of the natural world.
2. Romantic movement- it took place in Europe in the early 19th century and stressed feelings and intuition in art and literature, individual acts of heroism, and the study of nature. In the US from 1820 to 1850, the romantic and idealistic themes were best expressed by transcendentalists who were a small group of New England writers and reformers. This was significant because it was a movement that expressed feelings and went beyond the books to understand life.
3. Transcendentalism- a small group of New England writers and reformers who were highly individualistic and viewed organized institutions as unimportant, but they supported a variety of reforms like the antislavery movement. For example, writers like Ralph Waldo Emerson and Henry David Thoreau questioned doctrines of established churches and the capitalistic habits of the merchant’s class. This was significant because Emerson, a transcendentalist, became a leading critic of slavery in the 1850s and then a supporter of the Union during the Civil War. Thoreau, another transcendentalist, wrote essays and took some actions that would inspire the movements of both Mohandas Gandhi in India and Martin Luther King Jr. in the US.
4. Calvinism- it is a theological system that did an approach to the Christian life and also emphasized God’s ruling over things. It was developed by the French reformer John Calvin because he influenced many from his teachings of Christianity and because of his role in the confessional debated throughout the 16th century. It was sometimes classed the Reformed tradition or reformed faith. This was significant because it was part of the Reform movement where people started developing a better understanding of culture and religion and expressing their ideas.
5. Immanuel Kant- He was German philosopher from Prussia. He was one of the most influential thinkers during the Enlightenment. Kant also wrote a book called Critique of Pure Reason.
6. Ralph Waldo Emerson- He was an American essayist, philosopher, poet, and leader of the Transcendentalist movement in the early 19th century. His teachings directly influenced the growing New Thought movement of the mid 1800s.
7. Henry David Thoreau- He was an American author, naturalist, transcendentalist, tax resister, development critic, surveyor, sage writer and philosopher. He is best known for his book Walden, a novel about living in simple surroundings.
8. The Second Great Awakening- It was the second great religious revival in United States history and consisted of renewed personal salvation experienced in revival meetings.
9. Charles Grandison Finney
He was a minister during the second Great Awakening. His religion did not turn anybody away and he even accepted women. He was important because he contributed to the second great awakening as a revivalist.
10. "Burned-over district"
Charles Grandison Finney gave this name to parts of New York. He referred to it as the “Burned-over district,” because everybody in those places already had a religion and there was nobody else left to convert.
11. Utopian Movement
This was a time when people broke off to create their own utopias. They created what they considered to be the perfect way of living.
12. Dorothea Dix

13. Brigham Young- He was an American leader in the Latter Day Saint movement. He was the president of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and he was also the founder of Salt Lake City as well as the governor of the Utah Territory.
14. Horace Man- He was an American education reformer, and a member of the U.S. House of Representatives (Republican) from 1827 to 1833. He also served in the Massachusetts Senate from 1834-1837.
15. Harriet Beecher Stow- Harriet was an abolitionist who wrote a book about the cruelty in slavery called Uncle Tom's Cabin (1852).
16. The temperance movement- It attempts to reduce the amount of alcohol consumed within a community or society in general to prohibit its production and consumption.
17. Sojourner Truth-She was an American slave abolitionist who fought for Women’s rights as well.
