God for form a new sect that would return to the early beliefs of the Christian church and strive toward perfection and harmony by the pratice of strict religious beliefs.

By following the maxim that "that is best which works best", the Shakers created ingenious and elegant furniture, beautiful homes, labor saving kitchen devices ( like the clothespin and apple corer) and crafts that are as popular today as in the 19th century. This is a comprehensive overview of the Shaker contribution to American life.
