In the two decades prior to the Civil War, the Hutchinson Family Singers of New Hampshire became America’s most popular musical act. Out of a Baptist revival upbringing, John, Asa, Judson, and Abby Hutchinson transformed themselves in the 1840s into national icons, taking up the reform issues of their age and singing out especially for temperance and antislavery reform. This engaging book is the first to tell the full story of the Hutchinsons, how they contributed to the transformation of American culture, and how they originated the marketable American protest song.Through concerts, writings, sheet music publications, and books of lyrics, the Hutchinson Family Singers established a new space for civic action, a place at the intersection of culture, reform, religion, and politics. The book documents the Hutchinsons’ impact on abolition and other reform projects and offers an original conception of the rising importance of popular culture in antebellum America.

American Violence: Histories, Structures, and Legacies rethinks violence as central rather than exceptional to the history of the United States, from the American Revolution, the Civil War, and the New Industrial Order to the Modern Liberal State.The volume brings together scholars from across history, law, cultural studies, Indigenous studies, Black studies, gender studies, and violence studies. Chapters examine how violence has shaped American state formation, racial hierarchy, legal belonging, public memory, and global power. Subjects range from early American conquest, Indigenous genocide, and Atlantic slavery to lynching, armed citizenship, self-defense, protest policing, border deaths, and wrongful conviction. The volume also includes case studies such as the 1964 “Mississippi Burning” murders and global perspectives on the international consequences of the Second Amendment. Rather than treating different sites and forms of violence as separate histories, the book shows how these harms share institutions, justificatory languages, and enduring afterlives.This important companion will be of interest to students and scholars of History, American Studies, Sociology, Criminology, Gender Studies, Race and Ethnic Studies, African American Studies, and Indigenous Studies.

Born in Blood investigates one of history's most violent undertakings: The United States of America. People the world over consider violence in the United States as measurably different than that which troubles the rest of the globe, citing reasons including gun culture, the American West, Hollywood, the death penalty, economic inequality, rampant individualism, and more. This compelling examination of American violence explains a political culture of violence from the American Revolution to the Gilded Age, illustrating how physical force, often centered on racial hierarchy, sustained the central tenets of American liberal government. It offers an important story of nationhood, told through the experiences and choices of civilians, Indians, politicians, soldiers, and the enslaved, providing historical context for understanding how violence has shaped the United States from its inception.
