The Many Legalities of Early America
The Many Legalities of Early America
Legal historians were brought up short by Stanley Katz's 1984 essay “The Problem of a Colonial Legal History” (in Jack P. Greene and J. R. Pole's edited collection Colonial British America: Essays in the New History of the Early Modern Era, 1984), in which he decried the field's limited scope and teleological tilt toward the American nation. As Christopher L. Tomlins, a coeditor of this volume, puts it, Katz argued that “colonial legal history ha…

Law, Labor, and Ideology in the Early American Republic
Law, Labor, and Ideology in the Early American Republic is a fundamental reinterpretation of law and politics in America between 1790 and 1850, the crucial period of the Republic's early growth and its movement toward industrialism. The book is the most detailed study yet available of the intellectual and institutional processes that created the foundation categories framing all the basic legal relationships involving working people at work. But …
Labor's Sorrow? Workers, Bosses, and the Courts in Antebellum America
Historians have long drawn attention to the role of American courts in the history of and plight of the labor movement in antebellum America. From their antebellum interpretation of slave codes and common law rules regarding indentured servants, apprentices, hired hands, and artisans to their treatment in the Progressive Era and beyond of protective legislation, the courts have long been regarded, quite correctly, as the final arbiters of labor's…

The Fictitious Commodity
Law, Police, and the Pursuit of Happiness in the New American Republic
On 1 June 1779, Thomas Jefferson became the second governor of the state of Virginia. Shortly thereafter, he was elected to the Board of Visitors of the College of William and Mary where he pursued a series of educational innovations that he had unsuccessfully promoted earlier while engaged in his mammoth revision of the laws of Viriginia. The goal of Jefferson's proposed educational reforms was the creation of an educational system which would b…
The ties that bind
“When I use a word,” Humpty Dumpty said, in rather a scornful tone, “it means just what I choose it to means — neither more nor less.” “The question is,” said Alice, “whether you can make words mean so many different things.” “The question is,” said Humpty Dumpty, “which is to be master — that's all.”
A Mysterious Power
On 16 June 1837, at a little after six o'clock in the morning, a train of cars carrying lumber and gravel and crowded with twenty or more Irish track laborers and other workmen left the Boston depot of the Boston & Worcester Railroad Corporation bound for Worcester. About four miles out, just after the train had passed the City Mills and was nearing the Brookline road, a wheel on one of the cars broke. The train was thrown from the tracks. Two me…

The New Deal, Collective Bargaining, and the Triumph of Industrial Pluralism
This paper addresses what the author views as a prevailing misconception of labor law theorists and practitioners: that the goal of the Wagner Act was no more than the promotion of peaceful negotiating procedures and written agreements between organized interests-unions and employers-presumptively equal in power. The author argues that in fact the NLRA was drafted, and for a time implemented, with the avowed purpose of giving workers equality wit…

Getting Industrial Relations Right
New Directions in American Labor History
Writing in 1926, the economist and labor relations expert, William M. Leiserson, noted that over the previous 25 years an important change had overtaken the study of labor and labor affairs in America. At the turn of the century, students had concentrated their attention on a massive and growing 'labor problem' which they saw arising from rapid industrialization and mass immigration. They had identified their task as the discovery of the roots of…

Toronto Workers Respond to Industrial Capitalism 1867-1892
Long Swings and Spatial Yardsticks
In an earlier article in this Journal I described the attempts of lead ing American labor historians to establish a historcial critique of 'in dustrial pluralism', the dominant social scientific model of labor-capital relations in advanced capitalist societies for the last forty years. The foundations for their critique, I argued, were twofold: the pioneering work of Harry Braverman which analysed the transformations wrought by monopoly capitalis…
