For decades after emancipation, the child labor issue shaped how Northerners and Southerners defined fundamental concepts of American life such as work, freedom, the market, and the state. Betsy Wood examines the evolution of ideas about child labor and the on-the-ground politics of the issue against the backdrop of broad developments related to slavery and emancipation, industrial capitalism, moral and social reform, and American politics and religion. Wood explains how the decades-long battle over child labor created enduring political and ideological divisions within capitalist society that divided the gatekeepers of modernity from the cultural warriors who opposed them. Tracing the ideological origins and the politics of the child labor battle over the course of eighty years, this book tells the story of how child labor debates bequeathed an enduring legacy of sectionalist conflict to modern American capitalist society"-- $c Provided by publisher. 505 00 $a Machine generated contents note: $g 5. $t Cultural Warriors: A Southern Capitalist Vision. $g 2. $t Testing Ground of Freedom: Child Labor in the Age of Emancipation -- $g 3. $t Seeds of a New Sectionalism: Southern Origins of Child Labor Reform -- $g 4. $t Child Labor Abolitionists: A Northern Progressive Vision -- $g 5. $t Cultural Warriors: A Southern Capitalist Vision. 650 0 $a Child labor $x History. $z United States $x History. 650 0 $a Sectionalism (United States) $x History. 650 7 $a Sectionalism (United States) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01110710 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 776 08 $i Online version: $a Wood, Betsy. $t Upon the altar of work $d Urbana : University of Illinois Press, [2020] $z 9780252052323 $w (DLC) 2020006471 830 0 $a Working class in American history. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231019011136.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=108CC38471B711EB8A4F4B2E3BECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
