Abstract
The transition to a cash economy along with the increasing antislavery movement ensured that nineteenth century America would become economically and politically changed. However, the second great awakening ensured that principles of the past would remain constant and stronger than ever and white middle-class ladies were the main target. The emphasis on religion reaffirmed women as pious and virtuous beings. The idea of such middle-class virtue encompassed meticulously-run households and submissiveness to the dominant male figure of the house; the driving force behind such obedience derived from the belief in projecting morality at all times.
