Contents
Household gods : material culture, the home, and the boundaries of engagement with politics -- A new and profitable branch of trade : beyond the boundaries of respectability? -- A secret fund : the Union League, patriotism, and the boundaries of social class -- Minstrelsy, race, and the boundaries of American political culture.
Summary
Did preoccupations with family and work crowd out interest in politics in the nineteenth century, as some have argued? Arguing that social historians have gone too far in concluding that Americans were not deeply engaged in public life, and that political historians have gone too far in asserting that politics informed all of Americans' lives, the author of this book seeks to gauge the importance of politics for ordinary people in the Civil War era.
