Reform Movements Of U.S. History

This project is on the major reform movements of U.S. History. There are many examples of this, dating not through specific time frames, but some to almost the entire history of this country. In modern times, the needs and wants of many social and raical groups have been met. Races other than whites have met equal opportunities in life, women now have near, if not completely, equal opportunities, and even the disabled peoples of America have found equality under the law.

Reform movements have not always met with perfect support from the nation, and often times violence or hate has broken out as a result, however eventually the nation has made it through these rough times, seeing out the demands and needs of various groups.
