| Summary | "Society in America, Volume 2 (of 2)" by Harriet Martineau is a socio-political analysis written in the mid-19th century. The work addresses various aspects of American society, including transportation, commerce, manufacturing, and internal improvements, while reflecting on the complexities of social structures and economic practices during that time. The book aims to provide insightful commentary on the progress and challenges faced by the young nation. The opening of "Society in America" sets the scene by discussing the state of transportation and markets in the United States. Martineau highlights the vast network of ports and transportation methods that exist across the nation, illustrating both the opportunities and challenges they present. Through vivid anecdotes of her travels, she captures the difficulties of journeying through the southern states, characterized by poor road conditions and the resourcefulness of travelers and drivers. Her observations convey the realities of early American society, including economic disparities and the social dynamics that influence progress and development.
