New England's Chattels: Or Life In The Northern Poorhouse is a book written by Samuel Hayes Elliot and published in 1858. The book provides a detailed account of the living conditions and treatment of the poor and destitute in the northern states of America during the mid-19th century.Elliot describes the poorhouse system in New England, which was a system of public institutions that provided shelter, food, and medical care to the poor and homeless. He documents the harsh living conditions, inadequate food, and lack of medical attention that the residents of these institutions had to endure.The book also contains personal narratives of individuals who were forced to live in the poorhouse due to poverty or illness. These stories provide a firsthand account of the struggles and hardships faced by the poor and destitute in 19th-century America.New England's Chattels sheds light on the social and economic inequalities that existed in America during this time period.
