A defensive, even fearful, approach to childhood gave way to a more optimistic campaign to integrate young Americans into the Republican experiment. In Children and Youth in a New Nation, historians unearth the experiences of and attitudes about children and youth during the decades following the American Revolution. Beginning with the revolution itself, the contributors explore a broad range of topics, from the ways in which American children and youth participated in and learned from the revolt and its aftermaths, to developing notions of ?ideal? childhoods as they were imagined by new religious denominations and competing ethnic groups, to the struggle by educators over how the society that came out of the Revolution could best be served by its educational systems. The volume concludes by foreshadowing future ?child-saving? efforts by reformers committed to constructing adequate systems of public health and child welfare institutions. Rooted in the historical literature and primary sources, Children and Youth in a New Nation is a key resource in our understanding of origins of modern ideas about children and youth and the conflation of national purpose and ideas related to child development. 410 0$aChildren and youth in America. 606 $aChild welfare$zUnited States$xHistory 606 $aYouth$zUnited States$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aYouth$zUnited States$xHistory$y18th century 606 $aChildren$zUnited States$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aChildren$zUnited States$xHistory$y18th century 615 0$aChild welfare$xHistory. 615 0$aYouth$xHistory 615 0$aYouth$xHistory 615 0$aChildren$xHistory 615 0$aChildren$xHistory 676 $a305.230973 702 $aMarten$b James$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910790011003321 996 $aChildren and Youth in a New Nation$93839148 997 $aUNINA
