England built some of the first roads in America.

The first American roads were built by various European powers who had established colonies on the continent: the Spanish, the Dutch, but mostly the English.

The oldest one, the King's Highway, was built by England from 1650 to 1735. It was 1,300 miles long and went from Charleston, South Carolina to Boston, Massachusetts. Other examples of English-built roads include Mohegan Road (1670, today's Connecticut Route 32) and the Boston Post Road (1673).

the reform movements that arose during the antebellum period in america focused on specific issues: temperance, abolishing imprisonment for debt, pacifism, antislavery, abolishing capital punishment, amelioration of prison conditions (with prison's purpose reconceived as rehabilitation rather than punishment), the humane treatment of animals, the humane and just treatment of native americans, the establishment of public institutions for the care of the destitute, orphans, blind, and mentally ill, the establishment of public schools, the abolition of tobacco use, vegetarianism, health reform, homeopathic medicine, woman's rights (including, at first, especially the establishment of a woman's right to own property apart from her husband and her right to sue for divorce), and the amelioration of labor conditions (including higher pay, the right to form unions, the right to strike, and the demand for limits on the number of work hours, and safe working conditions).
