Beskrivelse af Inn Civility
Examines the critical role of urban taverns in the social and political life of colonial and revolutionary America
From exclusive ¿city taverns¿ to seedy ¿disorderly houses,¿ urban taverns were wholly engrained in the diverse web of British American life. By the mid-eighteenth century, urban taverns emerged as the most popular, numerous, and accessible public spaces in British America. These shared spaces, which hosted individuals from a broad swath of socioeconomic backgrounds, eliminated the notion of ¿civilized¿ and ¿wild¿ individuals, and dismayed the elite colonists who hoped to impose a British-style social order upon their local community. More importantly, urban taverns served as critical arenas through which diverse colonists engaged in an ongoing act of societal negotiation.
Inn Civility exhibits how colonists¿ struggles to emulate their British homeland ultimately impelled the creation of an American republic. This unique insight demonstrates the messy, often contradictory nature of British American society building. In striving to create a monarchical society based upon tenets of civility, order, and liberty, colonists inadvertently created a political society that the founders would rely upon for their visions of a republican America. The elitist colonists¿ futile efforts at realizing a civil society are crucial for understanding Americäs controversial beginnings and the fitful development of American republicanism.
