“Some things can be done as well as others”, the famous line of Sam Patch became a well-known saying amongst U.S. citizens especially Jeffersonian and Jacksonian democrats (Johnson, 163). Sam Patch was many things in his lifetime from a famous falls jumper to a destitute mill worker to also the first American-born boss spinner. He however was viewed different amongst social groups in America. The common folk and Jeffersonian democrats viewed Patch as a good man and somewhat of a folk hero, while the middle class and Hamiltonians viewed him as a drunkard and a sign of the decay of society in America. He was a product of the harsh system and Thus, Sam Patch amongst most other mill workers lives were filled with melancholy and sorrow, working longs hours with short break in textile mills. While the lives of the wage-earning class such as Sam Patch were filled with long hours of labor, the middle class instead enjoyed more privatized, contemplative hours for leisure pursuits.

The difference in wealth is prevalent for example when Johnson writes “the newspaper reported that the dinner was open to “all who choose,” but the cost was a dollar a plate – a day’s labor for most Patersonians” (Johnson 63) The bolstering and signs of being wealthier showed by the middle class proved to create

The book Sam Patch, the Famous Jumper gives a good idea of what America was like during the Early Republic period.
