A Fit Resting Place for One Who Loved Liberty, Justice, and Equality”
This article examines the American expatriate community in Florence, Italy, between 1840 and 1865. Florence, with its history of liberalism, attracted reformers from all over the Atlantic world, including many Americans and Britons committed to antislavery. During the two decades before the Civil War, Florence attracted American and British cultural elites who valued its history, culture, cosmopolitanism, and suitability for untrammeled discussio…

Against Sex
Living in an era when advertising and entertainment sexualize all aspects of American life makes it difficult to imagine an earlier period when impulses toward lifelong celibacy or sexual restraint exerted a significant influence on the national consciousness. Kara M. French's Against Sex explores early national sexual identities encompassing either the complete abstinence from sexual intercourse, in the case of the Shakers and Catholic clergy, o…
The American Civil War and the Course of Late Nineteenth-Century Temperance Reform
Historians often analyze the US Civil War in the context of political, social, and economic change but fail to appreciate its role in fomenting dramatic developments in temperance and alcohol reform. The war caused rifts between Northern and Southern temperance organizations; disrupted temperance fund-raising, recruitment, and outreach activities; and placed more than a million young men in danger of succumbing to the intemperance then rampant in…

The Prime Minister of the Grisly King of Terrors, Death”
Tout au long du xix e siècle, l’alcool et l’ébriété qu’il suscite occupent une place de choix dans le catalogue des vices que dressent les réformateurs américains. Ministres du culte, médecins, défenseurs de la tempérance et autorités judiciaires considèrent l’ivrognerie comme le vice par excellence, comme un piège insidieux qui engendre toutes sortes d’immoralités : crime, violence (en particulier domestique), jeu, prostitution ou encore impiété…

The Rise and Fall of the Strickman Filter
This article examines the circumstances and repercussions of the introduction of the Strickman filter in 1967. During the early 1960s, chemist Robert Strickman created a chemically-produced material that he claimed would remove more tar from cigarette smoke than any other filter then available. In 1967 Strickman offered to donate a sizeable portion of the profits from sales of the filter to the Columbia University medical school, Columbia underto…

A Soldier Intoxicated is Far Worse than No Soldier at All”
This article examines the prevalence and role of alcoholic intoxication in the American Civil War, 1861–65. Using an array of sources, including letters, diaries, memoirs, newspaper accounts and military reports, it identifies alcohol and drunkenness as topics of widespread concern in military and civilian circles. Examination of these sources reveals that alcohol suffused all aspects of the war, in both the Union and the Confederacy. Officers an…
He is an Excellent Doctor if Called when Sober”
During the early nineteenth century, many American physicians abandoned the personal and professional use of alcohol. This change in practice refected the growing infuence of Benjamin Rush and the temperance movement. It also stemmed from doctors’ desire to attain middle-class status and respectability for the profession. Drunken, incompetent doctors diminished public confdence in and esteem for physicians. By advocating temperance, physicians co…
Devil of the Domestic Sphere
Scott C. Martin's cultural study places gender and class ideology at the center of the antebellum temperance movement. Through textual analysis of movement literature, Devil of the Domestic Sphere portrays temperance as the instrument of a nascent middle class struggling for status and stability. Temperance reformers hoped to secure worldly success by disavowing alcohol and espousing a gender ideology that cast women as domestic guardians and men…
A Star that Gathers Lustre from the Gloom of Night
This article argues that wives occupied a more central place than mothers in the early nineteenth-century American temperance movement, and that temperance literature portrayed them in two ways. First, temperance writers depicted the drunkard’s wife as a pitiable example of the dire effects of male drinking on women and families. Second, they cast wives as potent moral influences on their husbands, capable of preventing the sober from faltering a…

Adventures of Captain Simon Suggs, Late of the Tallapoosa Volunteers
Originally published in 1845, Adventures of Captain Simon Suggs is a series of sketches written in part to parody some the campaign literature of the era. The character, Simon Suggs, with his motto, it is good to be shifty in a new country, fully incarnates a backwoods version of the national archetypes now know as the confidence man, the grafter, the professional flim-flam artist supremely skilled in the arts by which a man gets along in the wor…
