    “The Happiest Days of My Life” Searching for Utopia in Tennessee Timeline and Bibliography Tennessee State Library and Archives 403 Seventh Avenue North, Nashville, Tennessee 37243-0312 Timeline : Major Utopian Colonies 1800 Second Great Revival: religious outpouring across the mid-South follows five-day revivals during which people spoke in tongues, fell to the ground, entered near-comas, and professed their faith. 1800-50 Significant religious and political utopian communities are planted in New England, New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky, and Tennessee. 1808 Congress bans the importation of slaves into the U.S. after January 1, 1808, but slave shipments to American will continue virtually unchallenged until 1859. 1809 Shaker colonies are established at South Union and Pleasant Hill, Kentucky. 1814 The Harmony Society, religious separatists led by George Rapp, found Harmonie on the Wabash in New Harmony, Indiana. 1816 The American Colonization society is formed to encourage and enable the resettlement of American slaves in Africa. Their efforts will lead to the founding of Liberia in 1820. 1819 The Panic of 1819 is the country’s first major financial crisis, with widespread unemploy- ment, numerous bank foreclosures, and a decline in manufacturing and agriculture. 1825-26 Fanny Wright buys 4,000 acres of land in West Tennessee for her utopian experiment at Nashoba. The venture is political and cultural rather than religious: Nashoba’s interracial community is an early effort to provide an alternative to slavery. 1825 The Harmonists move to Economy, Pennsylvania. Robert Owen, hoping to create a more perfect society through free education and the abolition of social classes and personal wealth, buys their remarkably well-planned Indiana town and the surrounding lands for his communitarian experiment, New Harmony.
