- W1554887218 abstract "By 1850~ Bethlehem was no longer a closed society ofthe Moravian church. For the first time in its history, non-Moravianswere allowed to move into the town proper. Scholars have argued that the loss of the religious focus .of the community ended the uniqueness of Bethlehem. Yet some of the institutions from the closed period of Bethlehem continued to provide support for Moravian women. Also, historians of the cOmnlunity and family argued .that household structure changed as the heads and household members aged according to the life course paradigm. This study argues that after the dissolution of the closed society the ~oravian community continued to offer aid to single and widowed women. As well, the maleheaded households in Bethlehem did not fit into the life course paradigm that scholars found in other nineteenth-century communities. This statistical analysis of the borough of Bethlehem integrated data from the 1850 federal census, tax records, and local histories. This thesis concluded that contrary to the life course paradigm offered by scholars of other nineteenth-century United States communities, extended households in Bethlehem were located across all the age cohorts of male household heads due to its status as a pre-industrial community. The presence of small workshops created households in which laborers lived with their employers., rC 1 Furthermore, because non-Moravians could not purchase land or propertY in Bethlehem proper until 1844, Bethlehem continuedto be a predominantly Moravian community. As well,. the continued operation of the Widows' House and the Sisters' House provided Moravian women with option~ that . . may not have been available in larger communities. This suggests that the Moravians continued to influence Bethlehem after the community was opened to outsiders. The life course paradigm and the focus of historians on boarders overlook communities that were not industrialized and had histo~es distinct from the New England model. This indicates that the life course paradigm needs to be re-examined to expand beyond a concentration on age-based stages and industrial economic considerations." @default.
