Universalism is better known as a distinct sect in America than in England. In 1827 a division arose among the American Universalists concerning punishment after death, some a erting it to be limited, while others denied it altogether. Some separated from the main body and called themselves "The Ma achusetts A ociation of Restorationists."

In 1840 the whole sect divided into two, the Impart i a lists and the Restorationists. But Universalism is also held by many members of other sects, and practically by all Theists strictly so called.
