Instead of the official textbook, we are going to refer to this chapter as our 'text' for right now.  

19th Century Reforms

In class today, read the section about the 'spirit of reform',  prison, education, and equal rights.  This idea of reforms/change will be a theme we talk about for the rest of the year! 

**note - with this topic, we are backtracking a bit (pre-Civil War) so you might read about slavery**
