Description

Excerpt from A Social History of the American Family From, Vol. 3: Colonial Times to the Present The history of the American family during the past half-century possesses substantial unity, due of course to the fact that the period itself is marked by intrinsic oneness as the expression of an economic epoch - the transition to urban industrialism. It will be found that on the whole the striking phases of the present-day family are discernible at least in germ by the decade of the sixties, if not, indeed, much earlier. The develop ments that have taken place in the intervening years are more closely correlated with the process of urbaniza tion and the ascent of industrial capitalism than with any other force. But so homogeneous is the period as a whole that in the tracing of most topics of the family it is not very essential to place great stress on minute chronology, tho in the course of fifty years some phases of the family have experienced a degree of progress toward acceptable denouement while others seem more involved today than at an earlier date.
