How did religion affect culture in america during the 1800's?
The Second Great Awakening took place c.1800-c.1840. The Second Great Awakening led to many changes in society and reforms. One general effect was increasing religious fervor led to closer communities as people became more accepting. This is because many of the new religious views preached forgiveness and salvation, rather than fear and punishment. One reform was the educational reform. People began to value education more. The education system was improved and also offered to a variety of people. The first public schools were opened. Many people began to try to get educated including the rich and poor, boys and girls, blacks and whites. Many church related colleges were founded. Another was the reform of the care of prisoners and the handicapped/mentally ill. As religion promoted absolution, many wanted to change the way prisoners and the mentally ill were treated. Both prisons and asylums were made to be more humane and comfortable during this time. Women's rights and the abolition of slavery and were supported by many religious leaders, and so spread among Americans. The Bible says that all are equal, and many newly pious people began to believe that this did in fact include women and African Americans. The Temperance Movement also sprung from the spread of religion. Alcoholism was common in America, even in children. Religious people believed everything must be pure, and that alcohol tarnished the purity of America. The American Temperance Society fought to get alcohol out of people's homes and even out of the US entirely. These are just a few examples of cultural changes. Hope this helped!!
Why was the last half of the 1800s a time of conflict?
This is the period in which the Industrial Revolution broke through a kind of ceiling in terms of arms production. It was the period when “Weapons” effectively became “commodified.”What was that ceiling made of?Nitroglycerine.Wholly without coincidence, this period of increasing intensity came directly on foot of the invention of high explosives (nitroglycerine) in 1847—and “nitro’s” subsequent dispersion into its inevitable array of military uses.Add to the mix, the invention of the (Maxim) Machine Gun, in 1884.Like tossing gasoline on a bonfire, the vision this enabled was everything the likes of every gold-plated Kaiser, such as Willhelm, could ever have asked for.
During the first half of the 19th century, did any Cubans feel any national pride of independence when there were liberation movements in most of Latin America?
Seems not, or at least whatever stirred did not gain relevance. Their important drive towards independence took place much later in the century, as in Puerto Rico or the Philipines. Towards the end of his life, Simón Bolívar planned a naval expedition to engage the spanish in Cuba and PR but as he passed away in 1830, those plans did not go any further.

How did the move toward industrialization lead to demands for political change in the early 1800s?
Generally, the burgeoning of middle-class workers increased the standard of living in countries that became industrial. Conversely, urbanization decreased that standard of living in urban centers. Cities that were once only port towns or political centers practically exploded in productivity and employment became the new standard for lower class success.Culturally, now that books were more readily available due to the printing press, the middle class had the chance to become literate and educated. This not only made people more educated, but it also forever changed religion and philosophy in the western world.
