Poor whites were central to the rise of the Republican Party in the early nineteenth century, and the Civil War itself was fought over class issues nearly as much as it was fought over slavery. Reconstruction pitted poor white trash against newly freed slaves, which factored in the rise of eugenics---a widely popular movement embraced by Theodore Roosevelt that targeted poor whites for sterilization. These poor were at the heart of New Deal reforms and LBJ's Great Society; they haunt us in reality TV shows like Here Comes Honey Boo Boo and Duck Dynasty. Marginalized as a class, white trash have always been at or near the center of major political debates over the character of the American identity"--Publisher's website. 000772741 650_0 $$aSocial classes$$zUnited States$$xHistory. 000772741 650_0 $$aPoor whites$$zUnited States$$xSocial conditions$$xHistory. 000772741 650_0 $$aWorking class whites$$zUnited States$$xSocial conditions$$xHistory. 000772741 85200 $$bgen$$hHN90.S6$$iI84$$i2016 000772741 85641 $$3Sample text$$uhttps://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy1618/2016302095-s.html 000772741 85642 $$3Contributor biographical information$$uhttps://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy1618/2016302095-b.html 000772741 85642 $$3Publisher description$$uhttps://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy1618/2016302095-d.html 000772741 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:772741$$pGLOBAL_SET 000772741 980__ $$aBIB 000772741 980__ $$aBOOK
