490 1  American beginnings, 1500-1900 
504    Includes bibliographical references and index. 
505 0  Introduction -- The concept of membership in America, 1783
       -- 1815 -- Friendship, formalities, and membership in post
       -revolutionary America -- Politics, citizenship, and

       Determining the rights of members -- Consequences: civil 
       society in antebellum America -- Labor unions and an 
       American law of membership -- Conclusion: the concept of 
       membership in the age of reform. 
520    Alexis de Tocqueville was among the first to draw 
       attention to Americans' propensity to form voluntary 
       associations--and to join them with a fervor and frequency
       unmatched anywhere in the world. For nearly two centuries,
       we have sought to understand how and why early nineteenth-
       century Americans were, in Tocqueville's words, "forever 
       forming associations." In The Making of Tocqueville's 
       America, Kevin Butterfield argues that to understand this,
       we need to first ask: what did membership really mean to 
       the growing number of affiliated Americans? Butterfield 
       explains that the first generations of American citizens 
       found in the concept of membership--in churches, 
       fraternities, reform societies, labor unions, and private 
       business corporations--a mechanism to balance the tension 
       between collective action and personal autonomy, something
       they accomplished by emphasizing law and procedural 
       fairness. As this post-Revolutionary procedural culture 
       developed, so too did the legal substructure of American 
       civil society. Tocqueville, then, was wrong to see 
       associations as the training ground for democracy, where 
       people learned to honor one another's voices and 
       perspectives. Rather, they were the training ground for 
       something no less valuable to the success of the American 
       democratic experiment: increasingly formal and legalistic 
       relations among people.
