or D (1.5p)

While many nineteenth–century reformers hoped to bring about reform through education or

by eliminating specific social evils, some thinkers wanted to start over and remark society by founding

ideal, cooperative communities. The United States seemed to them a spacious and unencumbered

country where models of a perfect society could succeed. These communitarian thinkers hoped their

success would lead to imitation, until communities free of crime, poverty, and other social ills would

cover the land. A number of religious groups, notably the Shakers, practiced communal living, but the

main impetus to found model communities came from nonreligious, rationalistic thinkers.

Among the communitarian philosophers, three of the most influential were Robert Owen,

Charles Fourier, and John Humphrey Noyes. Owen, famous for his humanitarian policies as owner of

several thriving textile mills in Scotland, believed that faulty environment was to blame for human

problems and that these problems could be eliminated in a rationally planned society. In 1825, he put

his principles into practice at New Harmony, Indiana. The community failed economically after a few

years but not before achieving a number of social successes. Fourier, a commercial employee in

France, never visited the United States. However, his theories of cooperative living influenced many

American through the writings of Albert Brisbane, whose

Social Destiny of Man explained

Fourierism and its self-sufficient associations or

“phalanxes”. One or more of these phalanxes was

organized in very Northern state. The most famous were Red Bank, New Jersey, and Brook Farm,

Massachusetts. An early member of the latter was the author

Nathaniel Hawthorne. Noyes founded

the most enduring and probably the

oddest of the utopian communities, the Oneida Community of

upstate New York. Needless to say, none of these experiments had any lasting effects on the patterns

of American society.
