PDF-(DOWNLOAD)-Albion\'s Seed: Four British Folkways in America (America: a cultural history,

This book is the first volume in a cultural history of the United States from the earliest English settlements to our own time It is a history of American folkways as they have changed through time and it argues a thesis about the importance for the United States of having been British in its cultural originsFrom 1629 to 1775 North America was settled by four great waves of Englishspeaking immigrants The first was an exodus of Puritans from the east of England to Massachusetts 16291640 The second was the movement of a Royalist elite and indentured servants from the south of England to Virginia ca 164975 The third was the Friends migrationthe Quakersfrom the North Midlands and Wales to the Delaware Valley ca 16751725 The fourth was a great flight from the borderlands of North Britain and northern Ireland to the American backcountry ca 171775These four groups differed in many waysin religion rank generation and place of origin They brought to America different folkways which became the basis of regional cultures in the United States They spoke distinctive English dialects and built their houses in diverse ways They had different ideas of family marriage and gender different practices of childnaming and childraising different attitudes toward sex age and death different rituals of worship and magic different forms of work and play different customs of food and dress different traditions of education and literacy different modes of settlement and association They also had profoundly different ideas of comity order power and freedom which derived from British folktraditions Albions Seed describes those differences in detail and discusses the continuing importance of their transference to AmericaToday most people in the United States more than 80 percent have no British ancestors at all These many other groups even while preserving their own ethnic cultures have also assimilated regional folkways which were transplanted from Britain to America In that sense nearly all Americans today are Albions Seed no matter what their ethnic origins may be but they are so in their different regional ways The concluding section of Albions Seed explores the ways that regional cultures have continued to dominate national politics from 1789 to 1988 and still control attitudes toward education government gender and violence on which differences between American regions are greater than between European nationsAlbions Seed also argues that the four British folkways created an expansive cultural pluralism that has proved to the more libertarian than any single culture alone could be Together they became the determinants of a voluntary society in the United States.
