Summary
"The emergence of Black churches at the beginning of the nineteenth century was crucial to the survival of Black people in Pennsylvania and in the North because it provided two key resources. First, it provided a sense of meaning and destiny grounded in hope. Secondly, the Black church provided the institutional base for the economic, social, and political struggle of Blacks, including the struggle to eliminate slavery and all forms of racism. For Blacks throughout the nineteenth century, religion was both an instrument of protest and a source of relief. " [from the article]
"Virtually from its founding, settlers and visitors to the Phildelphia area perceived possibilities for a thriving brewing industry there...Philadelphia offered an ideal setting for the brewing industry: abundant pure water, fertile soil for hops and barley, moderate climate and a location at the mouth of a large river which was soon to make it a major port...a dozen years later, another observer, Gabriel Thomas, wrote that Philadelphia beer 'hath a better Name, that is, in more esteem than English Beer in Barbadoes, and is sold for a higher Price there.' During the eighteenth century the city would become one of the main centers of brewing in the colonies." [from the text]
