Rooted in the crisis over slavery, disagreements about child labor
broke down along sectional lines between the North and South. For
decades after emancipation, the child labor issue shaped how
Northerners and Southerners defined fundamental concepts of
American life such as work, freedom, the market, and the
state.Betsy Wood examines the evolution of ideas about child labor
and the on-the-ground politics of the issue against the backdrop of
broad developments related to slavery and emancipation, industrial
capitalism, moral and social reform, and American politics and
religion. Wood explains how the decades-long battle over child
labor created enduring political and ideological divisions within
capitalist society that divided the gatekeepers of modernity from
the cultural warriors who opposed them. Tracing the ideological
origins and the politics of the child labor battle over the course
of eighty years, this book tells the story of how child labor
debates bequeathed an enduring legacy of sectionalist conflict to
modern American capitalist society.
