Présentation de l'éditeur
Whether consciously or not every writer upon historical topics adopts some philosophy of social development and writes from the standpoint of some social class. He must do so if his work is to be anything more than a mere chronolog ,and even then a selection of events to be chronicled will be influenced by his attitude of mind and theory of society. Therefore I make no apology for having consciously written from the point of view of the working class, or for my belief that the socialist philosophy of history offers the true key to the progress of events. This philosophy is succinctly expressed in the quotation upon the opposite page in the statement that all history is the history of class struggles. Since the appearance of private property some one social class has always owned and controlled the instruments by which wealth was produced and distributed. This class by virtue of its ownership becomes the social rulers and fashions social institutions in its interest.

Évaluation du vendeur 4 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores how social development in America has always involved a struggle of classes since its inception. The writer suggests that every writer on historical subjects, knowingly or not, adopts some social philosophy. Through the lens of class struggles, the author analyzes America's social classes from the Colonial era to the post-Civil War era. Key themes include the growth of a monied class in the North and a planter class in the South, the fracturing of the working class in America, the rise of the industrial revolution, and the impact of the frontier on American politics. The author argues that the tension between these classes produced not only America's social institutions but informed its literature, with figures like Emerson, Thoreau, and Lowell expressing labor movement ideas and humanitarianism. A valuable contribution to American history, this book will deepen readers' understanding of America's past through the lens of class conflict. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
