Thesis (Ed.D.)--University of Virginia, 1991.

This dissertation was focused on two questions dealing with content on the concepts of slavery, sectionalism, and union found in a systemized list of the most often used texts in the school curricular areas of reading, geography, and United States history during the period 1800 to 1860. Was there content in the texts used during the time period studied to corroborate a claim from a New York Herald editorial that schoolbooks had inculcated the idea that slavery was evil? Were there facts, concepts, or values in the texts which indicate authors were trying to influence their readers to support a certain position on sectional differences found in the United States before the Civil War?Subjects--Topical Terms:

520 $a This dissertation was focused on two questions dealing with content on the concepts of slavery, sectionalism, and union found in a systemized list of the most often used texts in the school curricular areas of reading, geography, and United States history during the period 1800 to 1860. Was there content in the texts used during the time period studied to corroborate a claim from a New York Herald editorial that schoolbooks had inculcated the idea that slavery was evil? Were there facts, concepts, or values in the texts which indicate authors were trying to influence their readers to support a certain position on sectional differences found in the United States before the Civil War?
520 $a There was not significant information found to suggest that textbooks trained students about the evils of slavery. The foreign slave trade was generally condemned and there was evidence of slavery being portrayed negatively in the books used before about 1825. After 1825, slavery was presented objectively, for the most part, or not at all.
520 $a The facts, concepts, and values found in the texts suggest there was an attempt to teach certain positions on issues of sectional difference. The character traits of the New Englander were the same as those for the model American. The South was shown as a different place, with different values and ways of life.
520 $a The concept of union was important to textbook authors. The constant throughout the content surveyed was that the Union was essential to the continuance of the United States. Any who suggested secession or disunion were labeled as traitors. For sixty years, students were taught the importance and value of the Union. Many Americans learned from their schoolbooks that the Union was so important that even if it came to war, the Union was worth fighting for, because without it, there would be no United States.
