Download or read book Schooling in the Antebellum South written by Sarah L. Hyde and published by LSU Press. This book was released on 2016-10-19 with total page 267 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Schooling in the Antebellum South, Sarah L. Hyde analyzes educational development in the Gulf South before the Civil War, not only revealing a thriving private and public education system, but also offering insight into the worldview and aspirations of the people inhabiting the region. While historians have tended to emphasize that much of the antebellum South had no public school system and offered education only to elites in private institutions, Hyde’s work suggests a different pattern of development in Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama, where citizens actually worked to extend schooling across the region. As a result, students learned in a variety of settings—in their own homes with a family member or hired tutor, at private or parochial schools, and in public free schools. Regardless of the venue, Hyde shows that the ubiquity of learning in the region proves how highly southerners valued education. As early as the 1820s and 1830s, legislators in these states sought to increase access to education for less wealthy residents through financial assistance to private schools. Urban governments in the region were the first to acquiesce to voters’ demands, establishing public schools in New Orleans, Natchez, and Mobile. The success of these schools led residents in rural areas to lobby their local legislatures for similar opportunities. Despite an economic downturn in the late 1830s that limited legislative appropriations for education, the economic recovery of the 1840s ushered in a new era of educational progress. The return of prosperity, Hyde suggests, coincided with the maturation of Jacksonian democracy—a political philosophy that led southerners to demand access to privileges formerly reserved for the elite, including schooling. Hyde explains that while Jacksonian ideology inspired voters to lobby for schools, the value southerners placed on learning was rooted in republicanism: they believed a representative democracy needed an educated populace to survive. Consequently, by 1860 all three states had established statewide public school systems. Schooling in the Antebellum South successfully challenges the conventional wisdom that an elitist educational system prevailed in the South and adds historical depth to an understanding of the value placed on public schooling in the region.
Download or read book The Enigmatic South written by Samuel C. Hyde, Jr. and published by LSU Press. This book was released on 2014-11-03 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Enigmatic South brings together leading scholars of the Civil War period to challenge existing perceptions of the advance to secession, the Civil War, and its aftermath. The pioneering research and innovative arguments of these historians bring crucial insights to the study of this era in American history. Christopher Childers, Sarah L. Hyde, and Julia Huston Nguyen consider the ways politics, religion, and education contributed to southern attitudes toward secession in the antebellum period. George C. Rable, Paul F. Paskoff, and John M. Sacher delve into the challenges the Confederate South faced as it sought legitimacy for its cause and military strength for the coming war with the North. Richard Follett, Samuel C. Hyde, Jr., and Eric H. Walther offer new perspectives on the changes the Civil War wrought on the economic and ideological landscape of the South. The essays in The Enigmatic South speak eloquently to previously unconsidered aspects and legacies of the Civil War and make a major contribution to our understanding of the rich history of a conflict whose aftereffects still linger in American culture and memory.

Book excerpt: Are the public schools the public's schools? And if they need to be, what is the public? Public schools today often mean little other than schools paid for by tax revenue. If that is all they are, they may mean far less in the future than they have in the past. Communities built the first schools and, in turn, the common work of establishing them "built" the communities. Yet we seldom take that into account now when we try to improve our schools. The people who supported the cause of education made the effort because it was their cause. And it was their cause because the schools were their schools. Champions of public education had to deal with articulate critics who argued that common schooling wasn't a requirement for democracy because nothing could be more absurd than encouraging "people to read and judge for themselves." Giving everyone as much schooling as they wanted was thought equally absurd; it would be better to determine children's probable destiny and educate them accordingly. And putting youngsters from different social economic backgrounds in the same classroom, according to critics, would never be accepted. Public education was said to be born of an idealism that was as impractical as it was undesirable. Book jacket.
