Reform Movement help

My teacher is making us write an essay on the reform movements, but I cant seem to find any information. The only thing I notice is Horace Mann and the educational reforms. Any help?

My teacher spent like a whole week on reforms!! There is more than just educational. You can talk about religion (2nd great awakening), the temperance reform, family, prison, and utopia-ism. I'm not going to do the research for you, but I gave you a good list of reforms. You should narrow your argument down. What's your question?

A reform movement is a kind of social movement that aims to make gradual change, or change in certain aspects of the society rather than rapid or fundamental changes. Reformists' ideas are often grounded in liberalism. It is distinguished from more radical social movements such as revolutionary movements or transformational movements. Reactionary movements, which can arise against any of these, attempt to put things back the way they were before whatever successes of the new movement(s), or prevent any such successes in the first place.
