As always, this new edition also includes new content. As I created this
new edition of The Essential Learning Edition, I have complemented the
political narrative by incorporating more social and cultural history into the
text. Key new discussions include:
■
Chapter 1: Enriched coverage of pre-Columbian peoples, especially the
Maya, Mexica (Aztecs), and Algonquians—and European explorations
in North America. Additional material about the Renaissance and
Reformation, especially Martin Luther and the Anglican Reformation.
■
Chapter 2: Additional material on the social structure of European
societies during the Age of Discovery, the crucially important and highly
profitable Caribbean colonies, especially Barbados, and the process of
enslaving Africans and shipping them to the Americas.
■
Chapter 3: The everyday life of women and the role of women in
evangelical revivals; enhanced treatment of Great Awakening; and,
additional details on infant mortality and family dynamics in the
colonial period.
■
Chapter 4: New insights into the growing resistance to British authority
in the colonies leading up to 1775.
■
Chapter 5: Enriched treatment of Revolutionary War battles, the
everyday life of soldiers, and the role of women revolutionaries and
those who served as “camp followers” in support of the Continental
armies.
■
Chapter 6: Additional insights into Shays’s Rebellion and the early
stages of American capitalism.
■
Chapter 7: Enhanced profile of Thomas Jefferson and his contradictory
stance on slavery and women.
■
Chapter 8: More information about the development of the cotton
gin and its impact on the national economy. Added insights into the
development of the textile mill system in New England and the daily life
of Irish immigrants in seaboard cities as well as women in early labor
unions.
■
Chapter 10: A more robust portrait of Andrew Jackson and his
distinctive life and personality as well as the Peggy Eaton Affair.
■
Chapter 11: Delves more deeply into the economic significance and
everyday dynamics of slavery and the culture of slave communities.
More coverage of the “slave trail” from the Upper South to the Gulf
coast states and of the nature of slave auctions. New details on the lives
of plantation mistresses, their duties, double-standards, and systemic
sexism they endured
■
Chapter 12: Enriched treatment of the abolitionist movement and
utopianism, especially the Shakers and the Oneida Community.
"A woman who would live like that when single would
most likely do the same if she were married," said I sagely.
"And then her family would have to suffer. But I must go
back to the house. Maman will wake and miss me."
"I think she is. I heard her moving," she said, and then
asked abruptly, "Don't you want to carry her some flowers?
I would have gathered them, but I thought you would like
to do it yourself. There are plenty of late violets and
rosebuds in the garden."
I was pleased with the idea, and with the odd kind of
consideration it showed. We collected quite a nosegay,
which I carried to my mother's room. I had acted as her
maid and attendant of late, though I am sure I but poorly
supplied the loss of poor Grace, and I was surprised to find
her up and dressed.
And then I stopped, and had much ado not to burst out
crying again as I observed that my mother had put on a
black dress and a long mourning veil after the fashion of
widows in England. I checked myself, however, and put into
her hand the flowers Eleanor had helped me to gather.
Her lips turned pale again, and she seated herself in the
chair. I bathed her face with some sweet waters which stood
on the toilette-table, and she was soon herself, nor did she
again allude to the subject.
"So you are both up; and I hear—my dear, what shall I
call you?" said she, with one of her abrupt transitions. "That
name of Genevieve does not suit an English girl, to my
thinking."
"If you had been through what she has, you would start
too," said Eleanor, speaking for the first time. "Can't you
understand that, Paul? Will you go to church, cousin?"
"I don't believe she ought to go," said Katherine; "she
looks so tired and overwrought."
Her lips moved, and I was sure she said "Thank God!"
And she would have fed me, but I took the spoon and
helped myself.
"I thought his wife was that Margaret Matou, who lived
at the court with the former Lady Stanton," said my mother.
"You will not surely think of it, aunt. You will not leave
our Vevette here to be made a fine lady of?"
