![]() ![]() Now, Trollope admits that she was also unhappy when she visited America (apparently she was fighting a lot with her husband at that time). She says she even saw people who spit their tobacco spit on their own carpet in their own home. Also, Americans are very indulgent in her opinion, and she does not like the common southern habit of chewing tobacco. She also cannot believe America still owns slaves, and she is disturbed by the common acceptance of slavery in the American south. Other aspects of American life that Trollope doesn't like include the newly founded American evangelical movement, which has a personality and theological flavor that Trollope just detests. She does not believe they are very bright. She also notices that Americans seem to be poorly educated, or uninterested in learning or something. She finds herself disturbed by the absolute mannerless-ness of the people. Trollope does not enjoy her trip to America. She travelled there with her son Henry, and upon her return, wrote this book, criticizing the mannerless Americans and their various indulgences. Trollope describes her travels to America in the 1830's. Written by people who wish to remain anonymous ![]() We are thankful for their contributions and encourage you to make your own.
