The 2nd Great Awakening & Social Reforms Part 2
US History Repeated
History Repeated discusses important historical and political concepts that are essential to understanding and discussing U.S. history and politics. Topics and concepts that you should have learned in school, but weren’t interested at the time. History isn’t boring, but is often discussed with a political slant or bias. Our goal is to provide our listeners with the facts. Our podcasts avoid pushing a political agenda. We believe people are tired of being told what and how to think about a topic. Listen to the information provided, take your time to decide where you fall on the issue. Being informed is essential.

In this podcast we discuss the beginnings of social reform in the United States. We discuss Dorothea Dix and her work in the field of mental illness, as well as Temperance, Abolition, Women's Suffrage, and Horace Mann with educational reforms.
Many of today's social justice movements can trace their beginnings back to this time in our nation's history. Change is perpetual, but to get real change started requires a lot of work, as you will hear!
There is so much content that we needed to break it up into two separate podcasts.
This is part 1 of 2.

The Industrial Revolution was a time of great change. Industry brought progress, expansion, and movement of the population to new towns that sprung up all over the country.
Our special guest, Christian de Rezendes, is the creator of a documentary about Slatersville and the development of that town during the period. We got to ask him some questions and received great insight that we are able to share with our listeners.
Always more to learn!!
