Abstract
Several utopian communities emerge in the 1840s organized by reformers in response to slavery and the capitalistic economic system that is becoming a dominant force in the United States. Some of these communities like the Shaker and Oneida are fully communal (the group owns property but individuals in it do not) in contrast with the Northampton community that blends a complicated cooperative system with property ownership. Many of the utopian societies do not last long because they cannot support themselves.
