Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A small town in the center of Massachusetts seems an unlikely place for altering the tide of war and public opinion, but the town of Northborough played just such a role. Slavery had already sparked the War Between the States, but abolition was not the majority view. Abolitionists on both sides of the Mason-Dixon Line gave their lives for change, perhaps nowhere more passionately than in Northborough. More than half of the towns best and brightest joined the fray, and this vigorous anti-slavery activity demands attention: were towns like Northboroughwelcoming of abolitionists and strongly involved in the fightinstrumental in changing the outcome via an emancipation that had to be proclaimed mid-war?

Download or read book A Crisis of Community written by Mary Babson Fuhrer and published by UNC Press Books. This book was released on 2014-03-17 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the first decades of the American republic, Mary White, a shopkeeper's wife from rural Boylston, Massachusetts, kept a diary. Woven into its record of everyday events is a remarkable tale of conflict and transformation in small-town life. Sustained by its Puritan heritage, gentry leadership, and sense of common good, Boylston had survived the upheaval of revolution and the creation of the new nation. Then, in a single generation of wrenching change,the town and tis people descended into contentious struggle. Examining the tumultuous Jacksonian era at the intimate level of family and community, Mary Babson Fuhrer brings to life the troublesome creation of a new social, political, and economic order centered on individual striving and voluntary associations in an expansive nation. Blending family records and a rich trove of community archives, Fuhrer examines the "age of revolutions" through the lens of a rural community that was swept into the networks of an expanding and urbanizing New England region. This finely detailed history lends new depth to our understanding of a key transformative moment in American history.

Following the Civil War, numerous soldiers returned with damaged bodies or damaged minds.

This compelling book brings to light the continued sacrifices of men who went to war.
