 Victory in the American Revolution created the modern world’s first republic, in which no monarch ruled and “ordinary” people wielded political power. There was no blueprint or model for the young nation to follow–it truly was an experiment in popular government. In the Early Republic and for decades afterwards, many Americans harbored doubts that the young nation would survive. One prominent concern was that the people, now responsible for the political and governmental life of the nation, wouldn’t put their personal ambitions aside to pursue the “common good” necessary for a republic to flourish. <\/p>\n

One way to address this concern involved raising a new generation of young Americans in a manner that nurtured virtue, industry, frugality, trustworthiness, public duty, and piety–all those traits that were deemed a requirement for a republic of the people to function and last for generations more. Hence the proliferation of parental advice literature in the Early Republic, as well as children’s books that aimed to impart those moral habits.<\/p>\n

\n

The primary sources for this week come from that advice literature produced in the early 19th century. Sources 1 and 2 are parental advice literature on child rearing, and the Sources 3, 4, and 5 are excerpts from children’s literature. Your goal is to critically analyze the sources and come to conclusions regarding the lessons they impart about raising a child to be a productive member of society in the young nation, and the expected habits and behaviors of children.<\/p>\n
