How did circumcision become a common practice among non-Jewish people in America?

by Cugos

hey what I am looking for is an American history of how circumcision went from a Jewish practice to medical/cultural/aesthetic concern. I am currently writing a research paper on this subject so if you could link me to your sources (please no Wikipedia. academic journals would be great) I would greatly appreciate it.

hi! It might be worth x-posting this question to /r/AskScience or /r/Medicine (?). As for this sub, not discouraging other input on this, but fyi, I've found a few previous posts on circumcision that cite some sources you may find useful
