The chapter objectives are:
- How American intellectuals developed a national culture committed to the liberation of the human spirit (doesn't that sound fun?);
- How this commitment to the liberation to the human spirit (more fun!) led to and reinforced the reform impulse of the period;
- How the crusade against slavery become the most powerful element in this reform movement.
Really all fun stuff!

A shortened period due to early release (awe shucks! Now I know you think I'm being sarcastic, but how many times have I told you, that I really enjoy teaching your class? And that it is the highlight of my day????)
