Utopian Reformers  

Definition

  • Early in the 19th century the new American nation seemed, to European visionaries, to offer endless possibilities for experiments in the fundamental reordering of human relations in society. Many of these experiments were communitarian, reacting against the social disruption of revolutions and industrialization through seeking to reproduce on a secular basis the cooperative spirit of religiously based communities.
