Five notable cults that emerged in the 1800s include the Mormons, founded by Joseph Smith in the 1820s; the Shakers, who began in the 1740s but gained prominence in the 1800s; the Oneida Community, established by John Humphrey Noyes in 1848; the Seventh-day Adventist Church, which formed in the 1860s; and the Spiritualist movement, which gained popularity after the Fox sisters claimed to communicate with spirits in 1848. These groups often centered around unique religious beliefs, communal living, or spiritual practices that distinguished them from mainstream society.
