James Dawson Burn's 1865 book endeavours to give a true account of
the industrial, social, moral and political state of the working
class in America, and is addressed partly to intending emigrants.
His study examines the people themselves, as well as the
circumstances that influenced their conduct during the Civil War,
and draws comparisons between their condition and that of the
working class in Europe. Burns, writing from the perspective of an
English visitor to the United States, remarks that upon seeing the
visible social comfort there, he came to believe that lower-class
Americans of the period were far in advance of their peers in his
own country. Given that American rights and liberties provided such
a strong inducement for the labouring population of Europe to flock
to its shores, Burns intended his research to serve as a guide for
what they could and could not expect.
