can u please help me, im haveing a hard time answering this question:
As American democracy matured between 1840 and 1860, reformers proposed a variety of changes in personal and social relationships, education, religion, and state and national laws. What impact did the reformers believe that indivviduals could have on their own lot and on society as a whole? Were they realistic in their expectations?
thank you so much

Reformers always think they can change the world with their persuasion. Some are good ideas and some are not. You have to weigh the ideas presented and choose the one you believe having studied the options.

Realistic, yes, look at the abolishment of slavery in this period. The change came at great cost, as hundreds of thousands died in the civil war, but the deepening of democracy into the root of "American Being" proves, the sacrifice was fruitful and realistic.

I'm not sure of all the things that the reformers wanted, but less than a year later the country was at each other's throats.

Thay thought they would change everything in their own way, but as I am quoting from so many, they wanted everything that was perfect and that was not possible so they were resented many times. They were definately not realistic.
