Summoning The State: Northern Farmers And The Transformation Of American Politics In The Mid-Nineteenth Century, Ariel Ron
History Faculty Publications
A vast agricultural reform movement emerged in the northeastern countryside during the antebellum era. The massive popularity of state and county agricultural fairs, starting in the late 1840s, formed the most visible manifestation of this phenomenon, while the earlier rise of an independent agricultural press formed its essential precondition.
