Physical Description: 265 p. : ill. ; 24 cm.

Series: Early American studies

Notes: Includes bibliographical references (p. [249]-256) and index.

Contents: Chapters: 1. "For Strangers and Workmen": The Origins and development of Phiadelphia's tavern trade / 2. "Contrived For Entertainment": Running a tavern in colonial Philadelphia / 3. "Company Divided Into Communities": Tavern going in Colonial Philadelphia / 4. "Of Great Presumption": Public houses, Public culture, and the political life of colonial Philadelphia / 5."Council's of State": Philadelphia's taverns and the American Revolution

Summary: In Rum Punch and Revolution, Thompson shows how the public houses provided a setting in which Philadelphians from all walks of life revealed their characters and ideas as nowhere else. He takes the reader into the cramped confines of the colonial bar room, describing the friendships, misunderstandings and conflicts which were generated among the city's drinkers and investigates the profitability of running a tavern in a city which, until independence, set maximum prices on the cost of drinks and services in its public houses.Taverngoing, Thompson writes, fostered a sense of citizenship that influenced political debate in colonial Philadelphia and became an issue in the city's revolution. Opinionated and profoundly undeferential, taverngoers did more than drink; they forced their political leaders to consider whether and how public opinion could be represented in the counsels of a newly independent nation.
