1. According to 19th-century reformers discussed by Shulman, precisely how would mail steamships lead not to any priority on economic trade, but to a priority on social reform? How would mail steamships manage to create such broad public benefit? 2. How did it all go awry in the mid 19th century? Why didn’t American reformers like Elihu Burritt get international postage reform until 1874? Why were American colonizationists ultimately able to expel only a minuscule percentage of freed African Americans to Liberia in west Africa? |
