Inequality in American Society from 1815 to 1860

In the prewar era, one of the biggest obstacles between women and equality was separation doctrine. The doctrine creates two different areas: men and women. Men who are both physically and mentally strong are considered suitable for politics, work and war of the world. On the other hand, women have soft and delicate nature and are related to domestic affairs such as cooking, cleaning, birth. Because most of American families in the prewar days lived hard, the upland field work and housework were closely related, but the difference between them was negligible and the women were considered to be the same.

The economic expansion between 1815 and 1860 was reflected in the change of American society. These changes are most evident in the northern states where transportation, urbanization, the revolution of the rise of manufacturing industry have a common influence. In the northern cities, while a small number of wealthy people dominate the majority of the economy, there are little or no labor poverty whose number is expanding for large immigrants. Despite the popularity of the "broken" story, wealth is still focused on the people who already have it. Individual income is increasing, but opportunities for social liquidity are limited. Of course, some craftworkers enter the middle class by being even factory managers and owners, but many of skilled workers are aware that they are permanent wage labor with little prospect of progress .

American middle class is now a minority: social structure has changed. This reflects stagnation of the economy, uncontrollable inequality, and a decline in average life expectancy. In other words, this is politically created, neither of which represents what 70% of Americans want, public goods such as medical care, education etc. Collapse is proved by just these three facts. A decrease in life expectancy, a minority in the middle class, and a systematic failure of democracy. They can not happen at all in a well-functioning society without war and natural disasters.

Poverty is a concern of Americans. Angry in the country against the unfairness of middle-class reformers who believe in the political, social, economic inequality, and economic opportunities in the American society and the traditional values ​​of democracy Is rising. The enthusiasm for reform has spread to other fields of politics and American life and has become a feature of progressive exercise. Progressiveism is not a unified single exercise, not progressive people all have the same agenda. But they agree that a smart application of practical knowledge can solve human problems, they can reform the system for all the profits and correct societal cheating . One aspect of this movement is the call for social justice for the poor in the United States.
