Cornmeal and Cider: Food and Drink in the 1800's (Daily Life in America in the 1800s)

We're all here because of people who met and fell in love in the past! In the 1800s, most young men and women were bound by powerful traditions of family, church, and society that limited their choices in romance and marriage. As an economic and community-building institution marriage options were traditionally controlled by the older generation. Marriages were often arranged by families, and the bride and groom's personal feelings for each other were much less important than they are today. But as in so many other ways. America was a new and more open society. Communities of people from different and diverse backgrounds were established in a new land, and young people came together in a free, more open environment. Romantic love flourished in the America of the 1800s as it never had before, with a whole variety of courting and marriage customs, many of which we still cherish today. Book jacket.

History

In rough frontier cabins, tidy farmhouses, and elegant townhouses, Americans in the 1800s were dedicated to living as well and as comfortably as their circumstances allowed. The American home was a sacred institution, the seat of family life where the patriarch ruled with Mother at his side as guardian of the home, and the children were raised with strict discipline and strong values. Changes in taste & fashion, improvements in technology (indoor plumbing and a host of new labor-saving devices), and social change transformed home and family life in the 1800s, as opportunities for leisure activities and commercially produced consumer goods came within reach of the average American. But the strong American tradition of the sanctity of the home, consumerism, and the importance of the happy family life has its roots in the homes of nineteenth-century Americans. Book jacket.

Home Sweet Home: Around the House in the 1800s (Daily Life in America in the 1800s)

America in the 1800s was a very hard-working society. Early in the century, farmers, craftsmen, and housewives worked very much the way they had for centuries-by their own physical labor and ôthe sweat of their brow.ô The growing industrial economy brought millions of workers-people leaving their farms and new immigrants-into the factories and workshops of America, where the work was hard, the hours were long, and the pay was low. Women & children made up a large percentage of the industrial workforce, and conditions were often miserable and dangerous. Meanwhile, a small class of industrialists built vast fortunes. As the century progressed, improved technology, worker's rights legislation, and the rise of trade unions helped to alleviate some of the misery of American workers, but for much of the 1800s, the life of an average working-class person was one of hard toil, limited opportunities, and the constant threat of poverty.
