Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the first comprehensive history of the fraternity known to outsiders primarily for its secrecy and rituals, Steven Bullock traces Freemasonry through its first century in America. He follows the order from its origins in Britain and its introduction into North America in the 1730s to its near-destruction by a massive anti-Masonic movement almost a century later and its subsequent reconfiguration into the brotherhood we know today. With a membership that included Benjamin Franklin, George Washington, Paul Revere, and Andrew Jackson, Freemasonry is fascinating in its own right, but Bullock also places the movement at the center of the transformation of American society and culture from the colonial era to the rise of Jacksonian democracy. Using lodge records, members' reminiscences and correspondence, and local and Masonic histories, Bullock links Freemasonry with the changing ideals of early American society. Although the fraternity began among colonial elites, its spread during the Revolution and afterward allowed it to play an important role in shaping the new nation's ideas of liberty and equality. Ironically, however, the more inclusive and universalist Masonic ideas became, the more threatening its members' economic and emotional bonds seemed to outsiders, sparking an explosive attack on the fraternity after 1826.

Download or read book The Transformation of Charity in Postrevolutionary New England written by Conrad Edick Wright and published by . This book was released on 1992 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1780 New England supported fifty charitable institutions. By 1820 that number had burgeoned to nearly two thousand. The increase, argues Conrad Edick Wright, was part of a frenzy of organization that occurred in New England during the postrevolutionary era. His book is both a case study on the modernization of the United States during the early years of the republic and a detailed account of the numerous endeavors, both popular and elite, to aid, evangelize, and reform those in need. Wright offers a provocative interpretation of this little-known terrain in social aid institutional history. Unlike radical historians who view philanthropy as a form of social control, he demonstrates that the "charitable revolution" originated in the widespread aspirations of postrevolutionary New Englanders to imitate the English by establishing benevolent institutions of their own. He argues that the relationship between socioeconomic circumstances and the emergence of institutional beneficence is neither as simple nor as direct as some historians have indicated. Contradicting cause-and-effect interpretations, Wright asserts that organized charity developed at a time when need was constant or diminishing. In fact, he says, charitable institutions sometimes needed to search actively for beneficiaries. Undeterred, they redefined their missions and discovered new charitable causes. The Transformation of Charity in Postrevolutionary New England includes three substantial appendices that will constitute the basic reference for anyone interested in charity and reform in New England before 1820, including "A Census of Charitable Organizations in New England, 1657-1817".
