They were disgraced by the church but as time went by more liberal thinkers were able to reconcile Darwinism and Christianity.

Women's Christian Temperance Union  organized in 1874 and the white ribbon was the symbol of purity; led by Frances E. Willlard; the league was for prohibition; 1919 the 18th Amendment was passed for national prohibition-was only a temporary solution

Eighteenth Amendment  In 1919 this amendment did away with all Liquor, making it illegal.

Settlement House a house where immigrants came to live upon entering the U.S. At Settlement Houses, instruction was given in English and how to get a job, among other things. The first Settlement House was the Hull House, which was opened by Jane Addams in Chicago in 1889. These centers were usually run by educated middle class women. The houses became centers for reform in the women's and labor movements.

Nativism a philosophy in which you hate immigrants and have much patriotism

Philanthropy  Philanthropy is when wealthy millionaires give back some of the money they have earned to benefit society. The money would be sent to benefit the libraries, the arts, and the colleges. An example of two of the most famous philanthropists would be Andrew Carnegie and John D. Rockefeller.


Social Gospel    preached by many people in the 1880s and said that due to the social environment poor people sometimes could not help their situation.

The greatest contribution he made to American literature was the way he captured the frontier realism and humor through the dialect his characters use.
