Domestic Manners of the Americans

DOMESTIC MANNERS OF THE AMERICANS is an 1832 British work by Frances Trollope describing American society and manners. Intended for an English audience, DOMESTIC MANNERS is harshly critical of American society, notably the egalitarianism of the middle class, slavery, and the growing influence of Evangelical Protestantism. The work was widely condemned by Americans at the time (and subsequently), but found a number of notable supporters, including Mark Twain.
