Richard H. Chused examines more than 1300 petitions for divorce in
Maryland filed during the first half of the nineteenth century. By
weaving together information on the legislative handling of these
petitions, the voting patterns of the state legislators, and the
judicial treatment of related disputes, Chused shows the
connections between politics, regional differences, and the
development of American family law. His analysis also provides
valuable insights into the social history of the time, a period
when traditional Southern family values were at odds with the more
modern values brought about by urbanization.
