After emancipation was achieved, they broadened their struggle to pursue equal rights for women, state medicine, workers' rights, fair wages, immigrants' rights, care of the poor, and a right to decent housing and a healthy environment. Focusing on the work of a key group of activists from 1835 to the dawn of the twentieth century, From Abolition to Rights for All investigates how reformers, linked together and radicalized by their shared experiences in the abolitionist struggle, articulated a core natural rights ideology and molded it into a rationale for successive reform movements. The book follows the abolitionists' struggles and successes in organizing a social movement. For a time after the Civil War these reformers occupied major positions of power, only to be rebuffed in the later years of the nineteenth century as the larger society rejected their inclusive understanding of natural rights. The narrative of perseverance among this small group would be a continuing source of inspiration for reform. The pattern they established-local organization, expansive vision, and eventual challenge by powerful business interests and individuals-would be mirrored shortly thereafter by Progressives. 606 $aAbolitionists$zUnited States$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aSocial reformers$zUnited States$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aAntislavery movements$zUnited States$xHistory$y19th century 607 $aUnited States$xSocial conditions$y1865-1918 615 0$aAbolitionists$xHistory 615 0$aSocial reformers$xHistory 615 0$aAntislavery movements$xHistory 676 $a973.7114 700 $aCumbler$b John T$01681937 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910827478503321 996 $aFrom abolition to rights for all$94051688 997 $aUNINA
