The word reform has a positive connotation, as an effort to make things better. yet many mid-nineteenth century americans viewed some "reforms," such as abolitionism and women's rights, as destructive to social order; and other "reforms," such as sabbatarianism and temperance, as threats to individual freedom. what was the apparent conflict among reform, social order, and liberty?

    The word reform is to make changes to something, but often times people in society are not welcome to change especially if it goes against their expectations. As our society has developed many people saw the need for equality and social order which is part of one's liberty. This led people to protest and fight for social rights causing reforms to the laws in America, but not all were in favor of such changes at first.
