ABSTRACT:
This study is about the golden rule in nineteenth-century South Carolina, which for working people centered on labor and maximized its return by making use of agrarian reform and public services. The golden rule minimized market farming, borrowing, and consumerist fetishes such as spending for luxuries, alcoholism, gambling, glutton, and sexual promiscuity. The disruption of the Civil War permitted labor's parallel government to make gains at the state level. Historians who have perpetuated the assumption that the capitalist government was the only one accepted by “all classes and races of society” are out of touch with the South Carolina majority.
