3. Opportunity and Equality for White Men (Map 8.1) (POL, NAT)
*Toward Republican Families
*Republican Marriages / sentimentalism / companionate marriages
*Republican Motherhood / demographic transition
(You should be able to explain how the ideal of republican motherhood grew out of Enlightenment ideas and the independence movement)
*J47 / A: The notion of political equality called into question patriarchal authority, giving women more social latitude for advocating rights for social and political equality. As patriarchal authority over the family decreased, young men and women began to create companionate marriages and choose their own marriage partners for love, affection, and happiness. Patriarchal authority diminished as fathers lost their central role as shapers of their families' financial future, largely because of a lack of land.
*Exam Alert: The 2006 AP U.S. History DBQ asked students to discuss changing ideals of womanhood from the American Revolution through the Civil War and to note the factors that led to the emergence of "republican motherhood" and the "cult of domesticity." Before having students write an essay on this topic, have them develop a timeline with key developments for women in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries.
*Visual images of women in the mid-nineteenth century and the influence of sentimentalism.
