Artisan Origins of the American Working Class

In 1968, a leading student of labor and post-Civil War politics issued a dis turbing warning to his colleagues. Historians, David Montgomery contended, in their rush to analyze American labors response to industrialism after 1865, had directed their attention half a century too late. Only with further treatment of the artisans and laborers of the early national and Jacksonian periods?their changing economic, cultural, and intellectual lives in the midst of early industrial growth?would any complete understanding of class formation in the United States emerge. As a start, Montgomery called for fresh work that would build on the research of David Saposs, George Rogers Taylor, and others, heed the exam ple of E. P. Thompson, and evaluate the making of the first American working class.1

Report from the Mid-Atlantic Region

On November 6 and 7, 1980, the Institute for Research in History sponsored an international conference in New York City on the origins of Anglo-American radicalism. It was an exhausting affair, that included sessions on a dozen pre circulated papers, keynote lectures and commentaries, and considerable discussion and debate from the floor. Among the highlights were Christopher Hills paper, linking (if only speculatively) Daniel Defoe, piracy, English radicalism, and changing relations of labor in the seventeenth-century Carribean; Alfred Youngs paper on eighteenth-century American popular culture and radicalism (with a com mentary by Pauline Maier); and two especially lively sessions on recent trends in the historiography of the English Civil War and on liberal capitalism, popular movements, and ideology in America from the Revolution through the age of Jefferson. The organizers, John and Margaret Jacob, along with the Institute are to be congratulated for having brought together so many scholars whose interests in tersect. It is hoped with publication of the papers in book form expected in the near future, they will reach the wider audience they deserve. Also on the international front, the Milan Group on the History of the Early United States has announced its formation and is eager to hear from any Ameri cans working on social and labor history from the colonial period through the early nineteenth century. The Group, begun as an informal network of scholars who attended an earlier conference in Milan on American radicalism, consists of a few Americans and several Americanists from Australia, France, Germany, Italy, and the United Kingdom. It aims to deepen the heretofore tentative contacts be tween historians outside of this country and resident historians, to exchange news and notes and otherwise help make the study of early America more of an interna tional enterprise. A conference on republicanism and American society, from the Revolution to 1840, has been scheduled for next June; plans are underway to pub lish a regular news bulletin. Anyone interested in joining the group should send his or her name and address and a brief summary of past research and future projects to Loretta Valtz Manucci, v. Cappucio 3, Milan, Italy.
