Page "Amos Bronson Alcott" Paragraph 0

Amos Bronson Alcott ( November 29, 1799 – March 4, 1888 ) was an American teacher, writer, philosopher, and reformer.

As an educator, Alcott pioneered new ways of interacting with young students, focusing on a conversational style, and avoided traditional punishment.

He hoped to perfect the human spirit and, to that end, advocated a vegan diet before the term was coined.

He was also an abolitionist and an advocate for women's rights.
