Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of the Town of Harvard Massachusetts: 1732-1893 My Dear Sir: - For many years it has been my ardent desire to see written a history of Harvard - my native town - beginning with the period when the Indians first saw the smoke ascending from the hearth-fires of the white men in the Nashaway Valley and coming down to modern times. In no part of our country were the pioneers beset by greater trials, toil and danger than in New England; and probably none suffered more than those who lived within sight of Wachusett. The little colony at Lancaster was for many years constantly menaced by savage foes, and as the larger portion of Harvard was originally included in Lancaster, she shared the same experiences. The tale of the perils and sacrifices and the many thrilling incidents in the lives of her founders should be so woven into the story that the student may readily comprehend what hardships the brave men and women of that day endured, to secure for themselves and their posterity civil and religious liberty and the many blessings which attach to home in a civilized land. The town of Harvard was made up of sundry tracts from other towns, and if these can be so mapped as to represent the manner of their combination into the present harmonious whole, it would be "a consummation devoutly to be wished."

Download or read book Love of Freedom written by Catherine Adams and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2010-02-01 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: They baked New England's Thanksgiving pies, preached their faith to crowds of worshippers, spied for the patriots during the Revolution, wrote that human bondage was a sin, and demanded reparations for slavery. Black women in colonial and revolutionary New England sought not only legal emancipation from slavery but defined freedom more broadly to include spiritual, familial, and economic dimensions. Hidden behind the banner of achieving freedom was the assumption that freedom meant affirming black manhood The struggle for freedom in New England was different for men than for women. Black men in colonial and revolutionary New England were struggling for freedom from slavery and for the right to patriarchal control of their own families. Women had more complicated desires, seeking protection and support in a male headed household while also wanting personal liberty. Eventually women who were former slaves began to fight for dignity and respect for womanhood and access to schooling for black children.
Download or read book Social Structure of Revolutionary America written by Jackson Turner Main and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2015-12-08 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Professor Main's conviction is that an understanding of political history in Colonial America depends on a knowledge of the country’s underlying social structure. To provide this he examines different types of societies in revolutionary America between 1763 and 1788: frontier, subsistence farm, commercial farm, urban. He studies in detail the nature of land ownership, distribution of property and income, relations between income levels and culture, and the extent of social mobility. Thousands of probate and. tax records are examined to provide an analysis of the economic class structure of a new nation. Traditional historical techniques are combined with a conceptual framework from sociology relating to class structure, stratification, and mobility. Originally published in 1965.

Download or read book Tribe Race History written by Daniel R. Mandell and published by JHU Press. This book was released on 2011-01-31 with total page 345 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This award–winning study examines American Indian communities in Southern New England between the Revolution and Reconstruction. From 1780–1880, Native Americans lived in the socioeconomic margins. They moved between semiautonomous communities and towns and intermarried extensively with blacks and whites. Drawing from a wealth of primary documentation, Daniel R. Mandell centers his study on ethnic boundaries, particularly how those boundaries were constructed, perceived, and crossed. Mandell analyzes connections and distinctions between Indians and their non-Indian neighbors with regard to labor, landholding, government, and religion; examines how emerging romantic depictions of Indians (living and dead) helped shape a unique New England identity; and looks closely at the causes and results of tribal termination in the region after the Civil War. Shedding new light on regional developments in class, race, and culture, this groundbreaking study is the first to consider all Native Americans throughout southern New England.

Download or read book The Marketplace of Revolution written by T. H. Breen and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2004-02-26 with total page 401 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Marketplace of Revolution offers a boldly innovative interpretation of the mobilization of ordinary Americans on the eve of independence. Breen explores how colonists who came from very different ethnic and religious backgrounds managed to overcome difference and create a common cause capable of galvanizing resistance. In a richly interdisciplinary narrative that weaves insights into a changing material culture with analysis of popular political protests, Breen shows how virtual strangers managed to communicate a sense of trust that effectively united men and women long before they had established a nation of their own. The Marketplace of Revolution argues that the colonists' shared experience as consumers in a new imperial economy afforded them the cultural resources that they needed to develop a radical strategy of political protest--the consumer boycott. Never before had a mass political movement organized itself around disruption of the marketplace. As Breen demonstrates, often through anecdotes about obscure Americans, communal rituals of shared sacrifice provided an effective means to educate and energize a dispersed populace. The boycott movement--the signature of American resistance--invited colonists traditionally excluded from formal political processes to voice their opinions about liberty and rights within a revolutionary marketplace, an open, raucous public forum that defined itself around subscription lists passed door-to-door, voluntary associations, street protests, destruction of imported British goods, and incendiary newspaper exchanges. Within these exchanges was born a new form of politics in which ordinary man and women--precisely the people most often overlooked in traditional accounts of revolution--experienced an exhilarating surge of empowerment. Breen recreates an "empire of goods" that transformed everyday life during the mid-eighteenth century. Imported manufactured items flooded into the homes of colonists from New Hampshire to Georgia. The Marketplace of Revolution explains how at a moment of political crisis Americans gave political meaning to the pursuit of happiness and learned how to make goods speak to power.
