Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Brothers of a Vow, Ami Pflugrad-Jackisch examines secret fraternal organizations in antebellum Virginia to offer fresh insight into masculinity and the redefinition of social and political roles of white men in the South. Young Virginians who came of age during the antebellum era lived through a time of tremendous economic, cultural, and political upheaval. In a state increasingly pulled between the demands of the growing market and the long-established tradition of unfree labor, Pflugrad-Jackisch argues that groups like the Freemasons, the Independent Order of Odd Fellows, and the Sons of Temperance promoted market-oriented values and created bonds among white men that softened class distinctions. At the same time, these groups sought to stabilize social hierarchies that subordinated blacks and women. Pflugrad-Jackisch examines all aspects of the secret orders--including their bylaws and proceedings, their material culture and regalia, and their participation in a wide array of festivals, parades, and civic celebrations. Regarding gender, she shows how fraternal orders helped reinforce an alternative definition of southern white manhood that emphasized self-discipline, moral character, temperance, and success at work. These groups ultimately established a civic brotherhood among white men that marginalized the role of women in the public sphere and bolstered the respectability of white men regardless of class status. Brothers of a Vow is a nuanced look at how dominant groups craft collective identities, and it adds to our understanding of citizenship and political culture during a period of rapid change.

This book was released on 1967 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The English notion that liquor was a part of man's natural food and drink, and therefore good, informed the attitude of the early colonial legislators and was clearly expressed in the laws which were in effect until long after the Civil War. Statutes against drunkenness reflected a concern with the morals and welfare of the lower classes. After the Civil War, with the coming of an increasingly urbanized and industrialized society, the temperance movement grew stronger. Its leaders began to turn to the masses of the people for support, and laws regulating the ordinary consumption of liquor were enacted. The hostility to liquor among the middle classes was as constant as was the determination of all other groups to drink. As part of a great national movement regulaulation was abandoned for state-wide prohibition, which subsequently gave way to local regulation once more. --
