A narrator asserts his grandfather, a Virginia planter during the Revolution, was the true originator of Sunday schools, recounting a dramatic scene where the grandfather, enraged yet attempting reform, leads a moral lesson with enslaved household members.

In Rockport Essex County Massachusetts a 1850 riot saw around 100 women destroy liquor and related items in liquor shops.

The opinion noted danger in taking the law into one’s hands and emphasized careful limits on collective action.
