What happened to most utopian communities in the early 1800s?

Question

a. Their members couldn’t live up to their ideals.
b. They were ended by the federal government.
c. Outside invaders destroyed most of what was built.
d. They became permanent societies in the South.

Answer 1

The most accurate answer is a. Their members couldn’t live up to their ideals.

Many utopian communities established in the early 1800s, such as the Oneida Community and the Shakers, ultimately struggled due to internal conflicts, differing ideals among members, and challenges in maintaining their way of life. As a result, many of these communities either dissolved or transformed into more conventional social structures.
