- Summary:
- "Author Ron traces how middle-class farmers in the "Greater Northeast" built a movement of semi-public agricultural societies, fairs, and periodicals that, together, fundamentally recast the relationship of rural people to market forces and governing structures. A novelty of his historical interpretation is that he posits agrarian reform in the North as an antithesis to the slaveholding South rather than industrialization as has been traditionally juxtaposed with the South's plantation economy"-- Provided by publisher.
