Andrew Heath follows Philadelphia's fortunes over the course of forty years as industrialization, immigration, and natural population growth turned a Jacksonian-era port with a population of two hundred thousand into a Gilded Age metropolis containing nearly a million people. Heath focuses on the utopian socialists, civic boosters, and municipal reformers who argued that the path to urban greatness lay in the harmonious consolidation of jarring interests rather than in the atomistic individualism we have often associated with the nineteenth-century metropolis. Their rival visions drew them into debates about the reach of local government, the design of urban space, the character of civic life, the power of corporations, and the relations between labor and capitalâand ultimately became entangled with the question of national union itself. In tracing these links between city-making and nation-making in the mid-nineteenth century, In Union There Is Strength shows how its titular rallying cry inspired creative, contradictory, and fiercely contested ideas about how to design, build, and live in a metropolis" $c provided by publisher. 651 0 $a Philadelphia (Pa.) $x History $y 19th century. 651 0 $a Philadelphia (Pa.) $x Politics and government $y 19th century. 651 0 $a Philadelphia (Pa.) $x Social conditions $y 19th century. 650 0 $a Urbanization $z Philadelphia $z Philadelphia $x History $y 19th century. 650 7 $a Politics and government. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919741 650 7 $a Social conditions. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919811 650 7 $a Urbanization. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01162722 651 7 $a Pennsylvania $z Philadelphia. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204170 648 7 $a 1800-1899 $2 fast 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411628 $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411628 830 0 $a America in the nineteenth century. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/no2016151461 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191217020358.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=0A3DCC2A0CF611EA99B9112E97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
