Women's Suffrage and Freeing Slaves
Lyman Beecher was a Presbyterian minister. He was active in the temperance movement, which campaigned against the excessive use of alcohol in American society.
Revival utopia and temperance were interconnected movements in the 19th century, both stemming from religious and reformist impulses. Revival utopia sought to create ideal communities based on moral and spiritual renewal, often emphasizing personal and societal improvement. Temperance, which advocated for the reduction or elimination of alcohol consumption, was viewed as essential for achieving these higher moral standards and social harmony. Many revivalist leaders promoted temperance as a way to foster a better society, believing that sobriety was vital for individual salvation and communal well-being.

The American Colonization Society was established in 1816 by Robert Finley. The American Colonization Society was formed to assist the free Black people in the country. They wanted to provide them with the opportunity to return to Africa because they were concerned that they would be unable to assimilate into the white society of this country. These Blacks, assisted by the Society, went on to build a large community in Liberia, which is a nation today. Both Abraham Lincoln and slave owning Henry Clay supported the Society.

The American Society of the Promotion of Temperance was formed in Boston on February 13, 1826. All of the members took a vow to abstain from distilled spirits while they worked to expand woman's rights and abolish slavery.
From Wikipedia:"The American Temperance Society (ATS), also known as the American Society for the Promotion of Temperance was a society established on February 13, 1826 in Boston, MA. Within five years there were 2,220 local chapters in the U.S. with 170,000 members who had taken a pledge to abstain from drinking distilled beverages. Within ten years, there were over 8,000 local groups and more than 1,500,000 members who had taken the pledge.The society benefited from, and contributed to, a reform sentiment in much of the country promoting the abolition of slavery, expanding women's rights, temperance, and the improvement of society. Possibly because of its association with the abolitionist movement, the society was most successful in northern states.After a while, temperance groups increasingly pressed for the mandatory prohibition of alcohol rather than for voluntary abstinence."JFGIA!
