520    Respectable and Disreputable describes how Montgomerians 
       spent their increasing leisure time during the four 
       decades preceding the Civil War. Everyday activities 
       included gambling, drinking, sporting, hunting, and 
       voluntary associations -- military, literary, self-
       improvement, fraternal, and civic. The book also includes 
       seasonal activities -- religious and national holidays, 
       fairs, balls, horse racing, and summering at mineral 
       springs. Commercial entertainment, which became more 
       prominent in the late antebellum period, included theater,
       opera, circuses, and minstrel shows. Historian Jeffrey 
       Benton describes not only those everyday, seasonal, and 
       commercial activities, but also shows how antebellum 
       society debated the moral and philosophical questions of 
       how leisure time should be spent. Woven throughout the 
       book are comparisons between Montgomery and other cities 
       and towns in antebellum America. Although the United 
       States may have been increasingly divided economically, on
       rural-urban experiences, and of course on the issue of 
       slavery, it seems that antebellum Americans -- at least 
       those living in or with easy access to urban areas -- 
       shared very similar leisure time activities.
