Abstract (English):
The monograph examines the problems of US history related to the development of the reformist and dissident movement during the XVII-XIX centuries. There are civilizational, socio-cultural, ethno-cultural conditions for the emergence of nonconformist moods. Special attention is paid to the anti-slavery movement, which most vividly expressed public protest against the state's policy on the issue of slavery. The article also analyzes the activities of President A. Lincoln during the Civil War. The authors focus on essays on the lives of extraordinary personalities: William Penn, Ethan Allen, Hugh Henry Breckenridge, Noah Webster, Henry Carey, Thomas Cooper, Fanny Wright, Horace Mann, Charles Sumner, John Fremont, Thomas Higginson. These are not just biographical sketches, as the contribution of these outstanding Americans to solving the pressing problems of American reality is characterized. Some of the personalities are analyzed in domestic American studies for the first time. It is designed for specialists in the field of history and humanities, students, bachelors, masters, postgraduates and anyone interested in the history of the United States.
