The British scholar Harriet Martineau spent two years travelling throughout the United States before writing her three-volume commentary, Society in America, in 1837. Her lengthy journey began in New York in the autumn of 1834, less than sixty years after the birth of the United States, and she immersed herself in the politics, economics, civilisation and religions of the country before returning to England in the summer of 1836. Her travels took her to the nation's capital, where she enjoyed the hospitality of the president, witnessed Supreme Court proceedings and visited both houses of Congress. She also went to prisons, hospitals and mental institutions, literary and scientific foundations, factories, plantations and farms around the land; lived in farmhouses and log cabins; and travelled by horse, stagecoach and steamboat. This second volume is devoted to the United States economy of the 1830s, examining American agriculture, transportation, manufacturing and commerce.

Excerpt from Society in America, Vol. 2 of 2 Even In the south, where, the element of wages being lost, and the will of the labourer being lost with them, there are no adequate means of execut ing even the best-conceived enterprisesfi' more has been done than could have been expected under the circumstances. The mail roads are still ex tremely bad. I found, in travelling through the Carolinas and Georgia, that the drivers consider themselves entitled to get on by any means they can devise. That nobody helps and nobody hinders them. It was constantly happening that the stage came to a step on the brink of a wide and a deep puddle, extending all across the road. The driver helped himself, without scruple, to as many rails of the nearest fence as might serve to fill up the bot tom Of the hole, or break our descent into it. On Inquiry, I found it was not probable that either road or fence would be mended till both had gone to absolute destruction.
