Explanation
Answer - C - Brook Farm, Oneida, and the Mormons are examples of experiments in creating utopian societies.

Key Takeaway: During the years leading up to the Civil War, the quest for perfection led to the creation of many groups who sought refuge with a society of like-minded individuals. Many groups-both religious and non-religious-formed communal utopian societies, which they hoped would help them strive for perfection. Although many of these groups failed, the Mormons are still a thriving group in America today.
