Description for Schooling Citizens
Paperback. As common schooling emerged in the 1830s, providing white children of all classes and ethnicities with the opportunity to become full-fledged citizens, it redefined citizenship as synonymous with whiteness. This title shows why opposition erupted where it did across the United States in antebellum America. Num Pages: 296 pages, 13 halftones, 2 maps, 4 line drawings, 7 tables. BIC Classification: 1KBB; 3JH; HBTB; JFSL3; JNFR. Category: (G) General (US: Trade). Dimension: 229 x 152 x 20. Weight in Grams: 408.
As common schooling emerged in the 1830s, providing white children of all classes and ethnicities with the opportunity to become full-fledged citizens, it redefined citizenship as synonymous with whiteness. While white residents of Boston and New Haven forcefully opposed the education of black residents, their counterparts in Baltimore did little to resist the establishment of African American schools. Such discrepancies, Hilary J. Moss argues, suggest that white opposition to black education was not a foregone conclusion. Through the comparative lenses of these three cities, she shows why opposition erupted where it did across the United States in antebellum America.

With her detailed case examinations, Moss brings into focus the localized debates that contributed to the patchwork nature of American educational policy and provides awareness of both white and black activism surrounding integration that preceded Brown v. ...
