Question

How was tavern culture critical to the growth of revolutionary sentiment in the colonies?

Answer 1

Tavern culture was critical to the growth of revolutionary sentiment in the colonies, because taverns were where American patriots were able to group together and discuss how to start mini-revolutions which would lead up to the American Revolutionary War. The taverns also helped people living in rural areas learn how to do certain things, because there was a contact between people and this helped farmers learn new agricultural techniques (for example).
