Too often, says Jennifer Goloboy, we equate being middle class with “niceness†- a set of values frozen in the antebellum period and centred on long-term economic and social progress and a close, nurturing family life. Goloboy's case study of merchants in Charleston looks to an earlier time to establish the roots of middle-class culture in America.
