What ended the Robert Owens attempt at a Utopian colony?

Answer 1

Robert Owen's attempt to establish a Utopian colony at New Harmony, Indiana, ultimately failed due to internal conflicts, lack of a clear structure, and financial difficulties. The diverse group of settlers brought differing ideologies and expectations, leading to discord and inefficiency. Additionally, Owen's vision of communal living struggled to sustain itself economically, resulting in a disbandment of the community by 1827.
