Description

8vo 344 pages. Debt was an inescapable fact of life in early America. At the beginning of the 18th century, its sinfulness was preached by ministers. By 1800, imprisonment for debt was under attack, and insolvency was seen merely as an economic setback. This work focuses on this crucial transformation in early American society.
