I would recommend this for history students, politicians and anyone interested in making the world a better place. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Great condition *by A***N on Reviewed in the United States on September 9, 2011* This book came in great condition as was described on the description of the Amazon page. The book also arrived when expected. ### ⭐⭐⭐ 3.0 out of 5 stars Introduction to antebellum reform *by G***N on Reviewed in the United States on July 15, 2000* Mintz's work is the most recent attempt to summarize antebellum reform. Shorter than the other two attempts (Alice Felt Tyler's outdated classic FREEDOM'S FERMENT and Ronald Walter's AMERICAN REFORMERS), he emphasizes the ironies of reform: the religious roots yet secular forms, the conservative self-image yet radical tendencies, the anti-institutional bias yet creation of enduring institutions. He seeks to find middle ground between historians who have highlighted the reformers' fear and desire for social control and those historians who stressed the reformers' hope and benevolent intentions. At its heart, he sees (most of) the antebellum reformers as true heirs of the American liberal tradition, by which he means the attempt to ameliorate harsher aspects of capitalism through collective and government action. (For a scholar who disagrees, at least for some of the reformers, see Leo Hirrel's CHILDREN OF WRATH.) Mintz succeeds in creating a readable and informative synthesis of the historiography in which the reformers are viewed sympathetically as worthy of our respect, however flawed they might have been. Yet, for all his consensus-building, some readers may find this book unsatisfactory in that too many questions are only treated superficially: What really motivated the reformers? How successful were they? What can they teach us today? That's okay. These questions are really topics for different kinds of books. An important purpose of a broad survey text like this is to prompt some readers to explore the topic in more depth, and I believe that Mintz has succeeded in this purpose. I recommend this work as a solid introduction to antebellum reform. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sn/products/23213894-moralists-and-modernizers-americas-pre-civil-war-reformers-the-american](https://www.desertcart.sn/products/23213894-moralists-and-modernizers-americas-pre-civil-war-reformers-the-american) --- *Product available on Desertcart Senegal* *Store origin: SN* *Last updated: 2026-08-23*
