Description

Explore the complex social landscape of the United States before the Civil War with Riches, Class, and Power. For years, the prevailing view of America was shaped by Alexis de Tocqueville's idea of a generally egalitarian nation. This book challenges that long-held vision by examining the actual facts of American life. Author Pessen, a self-acknowledged skeptic, conducts a deep investigation to see if the historical data supports the idea of an egalitarian society. Based on more than five years of intensive research, this work examines the realities of wealth, family backgrounds, and social structures that defined the era. This text provides a detailed look at the social sources of inequality and the true nature of class and power in early America. It is an essential read for students and historians interested in social and urban history, offering a rigorous look at the economic and social forces that shaped the nation before the Civil War.
