Description
The book ""Lecture On The Condition And True Interests Of The Laboring Class Of America"" was written by Ephraim George Squier in 1843. The book is a lecture that Squier delivered to the New-York Historical Society, in which he discusses the state of the working class in America during the mid-19th century. Squier begins by acknowledging the importance of the laboring class to the American economy and society, and then goes on to describe the difficult conditions that these workers faced. He discusses the long hours, low wages, and lack of job security that were common among laborers at the time. He also highlights the fact that many workers were forced to live in crowded and unsanitary conditions, which made them more susceptible to disease and illness.Throughout the lecture, Squier argues that the true interests of the laboring class are not being served by the current economic and political systems. He calls for reforms that would improve working conditions, increase wages, and provide more opportunities for education and upward mobility. He also advocates for the abolition of slavery, which he sees as a major obstacle to progress for both white and black workers.Overall, ""Lecture On The Condition And True Interests Of The Laboring Class Of America"" is an important historical document that sheds light on the struggles of working-class Americans during the mid-19th century. Squier's insights and recommendations are still relevant today, and the book remains a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of American labor and social reform.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
