Provides an overview of the dramatic economic changes occurring in the United States during industrialization, especially in the textile, meatpacking, steel, and railroad industries; Describes a political culture marked by high participation rates in the North, active suppression of the African American vote in the South, and a youth culture that made voting an important male rite of passage; Offers primary documents that invite readers to consider contrasting positions on a variety of issues, including how white supremacists justified violence and suppression of the black vote and how African American activists spoke out to resist this; Explores a variety of educational models, including manual education, Montessori education, and single-sex education, that resonate with contemporary debates on education."--Publisher's description Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Notes Online resource; title from PDF title page (EBSCO, viewed June 24, 2019) Subject Industrialization -- Social aspects -- United States -- History -- 19th century History.
