Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Burning of the Convent: A Narrative of the Destruction by a Mob, of the Ursuline School on Mount Benedict, Charlestown, as Remembered by One of the Pupils In a few days after this had been announced to me, I remember that a Convent school-circular appeared in the house, which my mother and I studied zealously. It was ornamented by a vignette of the building, in which the three prin cipal doors, at the head of three lofty flights of stone steps, were very prominent. Four ladies, sitting quite at their case in a barouche, spite of the galloping of their horses, appeared driving up to the middle door, while the Charlestown stage (omnibuses were not in those days), in a cloud of dust, and crowded with pupils, was seen modestly drawing up to a side entrance. I was never weary of gazing upon this wonderful work of art nor of reading the circular over and over, till I knew it by heart.

Excerpt: ... my charge in safety. 185 kuow when the table was spread. She and Mr. is then went away, absorbed in their own affairs. Mr. B 's brother had already hurried home in hopes of being more fortunate, and finding his own little daughter safe with her mother. I never know whether it was so, or what befell Mr. B 's little girl, or what was the fate of the children with whom I had been associated all night. They all vanished out of my life, at once and forever. I had drawn back when Mrs. B, looking compassionately at Louisa, kindly held out her hand to lead me and my little charge to her bedchamber, and had said something about making Louisa comfortable enough on the sofa. The little passive thing lay down there as I bid her, and I was delighted to see her actually shut her faded eyes, as if she really meant to go to sleep in the pleasant room whoso comfortable appearance seemed to reassure her. I was sure that Mr. and Mrs. B would take good care of her, and that, as I seemed to have made no impression on her feeble mind, she probably would not miss mo when she waked. Feeling that I had fulfilled my promise to the Superior in regard to her, I withdrew my hand from hers, lingered to kiss her pale forehead and make sure that she was really sleeping, and then slipped out of the room, down the stairs, and out of the house, finding, fortunately for me, the front door ajar. In a moment I had turned the corner of Pearl Place, into Pearl Street. I knew my way home perfectly; up Pearl Street into High, down High to Summer Street, along Summer to Sea Street, and through the length of Sea Street, out upon the Dorchester turnpike. Pearl Street was a handsome street, lined on each side with gentlemen's houses, some of which had beautiful gardens attached to...

Download or read book Escaped Nuns written by Cassandra L. Yacovazzi and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2018-08-21 with total page 349 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Just five weeks after its publication in January 1836, Awful Disclosures of the Hotel Dieu Nunnery, billed as an escaped nun's shocking exposé of convent life, had already sold more than 20,000 copies. The book detailed gothic-style horror stories of licentious priests and abusive mothers superior, tortured nuns and novices, and infanticide. By the time the book was revealed to be a fiction and the author, Maria Monk, an imposter, it had already become one of the nineteenth century's best-selling books. In antebellum America only one book, Uncle Tom's Cabin, outsold it. The success of Monk's book was no fluke, but rather a part of a larger phenomenon of anti-Catholic propaganda, riots, and nativist politics. The secrecy of convents stood as an oblique justification for suspicion of Catholics and the campaigns against them, which were intimately connected with cultural concerns regarding reform, religion, immigration, and, in particular, the role of women in the Republic. At a time when the term "female virtue" pervaded popular rhetoric, the image of the veiled nun represented a threat to the established American ideal of womanhood. Unable to marry, she was instead a captive of a foreign foe, a fallen woman, a white slave, and a foolish virgin. In the first half of the nineteenth century, ministers, vigilantes, politicians, and writers--male and female--forged this image of the nun, locking arms against convents. The result was a far-reaching antebellum movement that would shape perceptions of nuns, and women more broadly, in America.

Download or read book The Nativist Movement in America written by Katie Oxx and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-07-15 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By the mid nineteenth century, anti-Catholicism had become a central conflict in America. Fueling the dissent were Protestant groups dedicated to maintaining what they understood to be the Christian vision and spirit of the "founding fathers." Afraid of the religious and moral impact of Catholics, they advocated for stricter laws in order to maintain the Protestant predominance of America. Of particular concern to some of these native-born citizens, or "nativists," were Roman Catholic immigrants whose increasing presence and perceived allegiance to the pope alarmed them. The Nativist Movement in American History draws attention to the religious dimensions of nativism. Concentrating on the mid-nineteenth century and examining the anti-Catholic violence that erupted along the East Coast, Katie Oxx historicizes the burning of an Ursuline convent in Charlestown, Massachusetts, the Bible Riots in Philadelphia, and the theft and destruction of the "Pope's Stone" in Washington, D.C. In a concise narrative, together with trial transcripts and newspaper articles, poems, and personal narratives, the author introduces the nativist movement to students, illuminating the history of exclusion and these formative clashes between religious groups.

Download or read book Irish Americans written by William E. Watson and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2014-11-25 with total page 538 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Virtually every aspect of American culture has been influenced by Irish immigrants and their descendants. This encyclopedia tells the full story of the Irish-American experience, covering immigration, assimilation, and achievement. The Irish have had a significant impact on America across three centuries, helping to shape politics, law, labor, war, literature, journalism, entertainment, business, sports, and science. This encyclopedia explores why the Irish came to America, where they settled, and how their distinctive Irish-American identity was formed. Well-known Irish Americans are profiled, but the work also captures the essence of everyday life for Irish-Americans as they have assimilated, established communities, and interacted with other ethnic groups. The approximately 200 entries in this comprehensive, one-stop reference are organized into four themes: the context of Irish-American emigration; political and economic life; cultural and religious life; and literature, the arts, and popular culture. Each section offers a historical overview of the subject matter, and the work is enriched by a selection of primary documents.
