Chapter 438: Trouble at the Inn
It is estimated that during the Revolutionary War, every adult American 15 and older drank 6.6 gallons of pure alcohol a year, which is equivalent to drinking 5.8 glasses of 80-proof liquor in a day.
There were few moral or legal constraints on alcoholism, and in all of 18th-century New York, not a single defendant was brought to court on such charges.
On those mornings when Adams walked to meetings, he should have seen and smelled men and women drinking before going to work, or drinking absenteeism.
As he walked past the workshops that produced furniture, shoes, carriages, tools, and other staples of the early ugly economy, he would see workers sitting at tables with goods and blackjack glasses.
Workforces from all walks of life drink beer during work hours and drink hard liquor after work, passing the time with nothing to do.
Construction workers and shipbuilders alike took it for granted that their bosses offered beer during their work breaks.
According to historian Peter Thompson, even senior mechanics and early managers of the ugly country's manufacturing industry "could not have argued beyond question that alcoholism was a right and a special treatment."
In the early Ugly Economy, it was the workers, not the bosses, who decided when they should show up and when they should go home.
In the 18th century, workers had one day off after Sunday, known as "Holy Monday."
Franklin commented, "The working people come to this day on time as if they were Sundays; The only difference is that instead of spending the day in church, they splurge it on bars."
Even in New England, where Puritanism had a strong influence, taverns were often located next door to churches, so parishioners could have a drink before and after the service.
The tavern culture abhors authority and discipline, and this culture expands the freedom of everyone, especially blacks.
In 1732, the City Council of Philadelphia noted with alarm that "slaves often held noisy meetings, especially on Sundays."
Lawmakers have called for a decree restricting them from doing so, but it has not been passed.
In fact, the taverns of the lower classes were the first public places in the ugly country to achieve racial integration.
Black, white, and brown ugly nations were brought together by a common longing, centuries before the Federation reconciled them by force.
While state laws prohibit blacks from entering bars, pub operators, white patrons, free blacks, and even black slaves tend to have a nonchalant attitude toward this law.
The occasional actions of the enforcers did not stop the influx of people of all stripes into the tavern.
In addition, the less "high-class" a tavern is, the more likely it is to promote racial mixing.
This is the most noteworthy point of those pubs in New York City.
Here, and throughout the history of the ugly country, the lowest "scum" are the vanguard of racial equality.
It was precisely because of this series of traditions that Lai's hotel in Atlantic City was occupied by blacks, so much so that he had to intervene to resolve the turmoil.
Yes, all the hotels under the Pacific Hotel are occupied by blacks, who drink and make trouble in them all day long, and when they drink too much, they push open their rooms and go in and sleep, regardless of whether there is anyone in them.
At first, they knew to go after being beaten by the security guards, but then they simply came to a trick of the dead pig who was not afraid of boiling water, and had the ability to kill me, and wanted me to go, no way!
As the person in charge of the hotel business, Xiao Er thought of a lot of ways, and it was not that he threw people into the Atlantic Ocean to feed the fish.
I thought that killing chickens could set an example for monkeys, but who would have thought that these old blacks were really not afraid of death.
Or maybe you're scared, it's better to have a shelter from the wind and rain than anything else, die? Isn't being alive worse than dying?
Anyway, everyone is not related to each other, and if they die, they will die, and they can still work for the benefit of their living compatriots, which is good.
This is the truest idea of the old blacks, to use other people's corpses for their own future.
As soon as the car stopped on the side of the street, Li Yaoyang was frightened by the scene in front of him, is this still his own hotel? The slums of Philadelphia and Chicago are no more than that, right?
A group of black men squatted in front of the hotel, surrounded by garbage, smoking cigarettes and carrying beer bottles in their hands, all drunk and dreaming of death, apparently calling this place home.

"How long has this been going on?"
"It's been half a month~," Xiao Er said.
"Why did you tell me?"
"I thought that killing two of them would solve the problem, but I didn't expect this group of black people to be determined to use us as soft persimmons, and I was out of options." Xiao Er said helplessly.
Li Yaoyang looked out the window, just in time to meet a black man, he grinned, and a mouthful of big yellow teeth were about to fall out.
At this time, the other party raised his hand and made a gesture to shoot, and then laughed wildly, thinking that this could scare Li Yaoyang?
"What about our employees?"
"It's all in there, these old blacks are just scoundrels, they don't hurt anyone, this is the bottom line, otherwise I would have killed them a long time ago."
"No~ can't be killed, look over there!" Li Yaoyang turned his head and pointed across the street.
I saw that around the corner, several young people in jeans and windbreakers were holding up their cameras and didn't know what to shoot.
Small two pupil shrinkage:
"Journalists?"
Just before the car stopped, Li Yaoyang was observing the surroundings, and at a glance he saw the young people who looked like reporters, obviously, this was a planned incident.
"It's a good thing I didn't do it, otherwise I would have been accused of slaughtering black people." Xiao Er said with palpitations.
Then he said indignantly:
"Whose idea was it? It's a vicious move."
"Grab two tongues and ask." Li Yaoyang immediately said that since the other party came prepared, he naturally would not be soft, and in today's Atlantic City, he is not afraid of anyone!
"Yes!"
Li Yaoyang was furious at the scene in front of him, but he was powerless.
If he were white, he would have a completely different state of mind when dealing with the situation in front of him.
It is precisely because he is Chinese that it is particularly difficult to deal with this troublesome matter.
The history of an ugly country is, in fact, a history of racial discrimination.
Martin Luther King, Jr.'s dream will not be realized in the 22nd century.
The "black slaves" who began in the colonial period of North America were the source of racial discrimination.
In 1565, when the Spaniards landed on the American continent and established the first colonial city in what is now Florida, St. Augustine, there were "black slaves" here.
According to incomplete statistics, Britain was the largest slave trader in the three-century-long transatlantic slave trade, trafficking 3.5 million black Africans to Europe and the United States, accounting for more than one-third of the total slave trade.
In the 15th and 16th centuries, England was still a small agricultural country with a population of about 3 million to 6 million.
At the beginning of the 17th century, some Puritans, who could not bear the persecution, as well as some strong women, murderers, adventurers, and merchants, began to immigrate to the New World.
In December 1606, the first English immigration to North America was established, organized by the British company of Virginia, which organized 144 immigrants and landed near the mouth of the James River on May 12, 1607.
These people were actually indentured laborers employed by the company (commonly known as "white slaves") who had to work for the company for free for seven years before they could be freed.
Due to illness and lack of food and clothing, by January 1608 there were only about 30 of them left.
In 1619, the Virginia Company initiated a project to grant land to settlers, especially to encourage English families to immigrate to the Americas.
Between 1607 and 1733, Britain established 13 British colonies in the narrow strip of North America from the Atlantic coast in the east to the Appalachian Mountains in the west, which were the first 13 states in the early days of the Ugly Kingdom in 1776.
They are Delaware, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Georgia, Connecticut, Massachusetts Bay, Maryland, South Carolina, New Hampshire, Virginia, New York, North Carolina, and Rhode Island.
The total area of the 13 states is about 800,000 square kilometers.
In the early 17th century, white European colonists shifted from indentured white slaves (mainly poorer Europeans) to cheaper and more abundant sources of labor—African slaves—to meet the labor needs of the rapidly growing North American colonies. qs
In 1619, slavery quickly spread in the Ugly colony when a Dutch ship carrying 20 Africans landed in Brookestown, Virginia, an English colony

More and more blacks were trafficked here from Africa to become "black slaves".
Britain became the largest "human trafficker" of slaves, who bought and sold slaves as livestock and stipulated that blacks would be enslaved for generations without personal freedom.
As European nations grew stronger, notably Portugal, Spain, France, England and the Netherlands, who began to vie for control of the African slave trade, the British crown granted the Royal African Company a charter to monopolize African slave transport routes until 1712.
According to statistics, between 1672 and 1689, the Royal African Company transported about 80,000 slaves from Africa to the Americas.
The Atlantic slave trade reached its peak at the end of the 18th century, and although it is impossible to give exact figures, some historians estimate that between 6 million and 7 million slaves were imported into the New World in the 18th century alone, depriving the continent of its most precious resource – the healthiest and most capable men and women.
From the 16th to the 19th centuries, an estimated 12 million Africans were transported to the Americas as slaves.
Of these, an estimated 645,000 people were brought to the current ugly country.
According to the 1860 census, the slave population had grown to 4 million.
In general, as the population of color grows and the threat to the white ruling class grows, the government increasingly restricts the liberal rights of free blacks.
Slavery has existed as a legal institution in the country since the early colonial period.
The Slave Code is a state law created to regulate the relationship between slaves and slave owners and to legalize the slavery system.
These codes imposed severe restrictions on the already limited freedoms of slaves and gave slave owners absolute power over their slaves.
Slave owners were required to conduct regular searches of slave homes for suspicious activity; Some statutes forbade slaves from owning weapons, not leaving their master's plantation without permission, and even from using hands on whites in self-defense.
Slaves were often punished by whipping, shackles, hanging, beatings, burning, mutilation, branding, and imprisonment.
The treatment of black slaves in the ugly country was brutal and inhumane, and whippings, executions, and forced women were commonplace.
Slaves rebelled by rebellion, disobedience, and flight.
The strong women of the South exemplify a double standard based on race.
Before the Civil War, black men accused of forcible female sex were subject to death, while white men could do it or abuse female slaves without fear of punishment.
In fact, by the 19th century, popular works in the South portrayed female ** subordinates as lecherous, promiscuous female cousins who shamelessly lured white slave owners into sex with them, thus justifying the abuse of black women by white men.
Free women or white women could sue prisoners, while slave women had no legal recourse.
The law states that their bodies belong to their owners.
Ugly Nation has historically had a high level of prevalence of white male aggression against black women.
This was also used to increase the number of slaves as part of slave breeding practices, especially after the federal ban on the importation of slaves in 1808.
In the pre-Civil War South, the abuse of slaves was commonplace.
Slave women were at high risk of violence, a practice rooted in part in the patriarchal culture of the South at the time.
This culture considers all women, black and white, to be property or chattel.
The offspring of slave women and men of any race were slaves, resulting in a large number of mestizo or mulatto slaves.
In contrast, many Southern societies strongly forbid relationships between white women and black men, in an attempt to maintain "racial purity."
The belief in racial "purity" prompted Southern culture to strongly prohibit relationships between white women and black men, but this culture inherently protected the relationship between white men and black women, resulting in many mixed-race children.
Many mixed-race servants are actually related to the white members of the family.
These relationships are often the product of unequal power structures and abuse.
In many families, slaves were treated according to the color of their skin.
Darker-skinned slaves worked in the fields, while lighter-skinned slaves worked in the house

work, food, clothing, housing and transportation are relatively good.
Sometimes, plantation owners used mixed-race slaves as domestic servants, or favored artisans because they were their own children or the children of relatives.
Free blacks in the Deep South were often plantation owners' mulattoes.
In the Southern states, slave marriages were illegal, slave couples were often separated by slave owners through sale, and slaves were not even allowed to choose their partners or parents.
The education of slaves was often discouraged or even forbidden because of the fear that knowledge—especially the ability to read and write—would make slaves rebellious.
In the mid-19th century, states that practiced slavery passed laws that made it illegal to educate slaves.
In Virginia in 1841, the punishment for violating this law was 20 lashes for slaves and a $100 fine for teachers.
In 1841, North Carolina punishments for slaves included 39 lashes and a fine of $250 for teachers.
From this point of view, the black people in the ugly country are pitiful, they have a history of inhuman humiliation, but this does not mean that they will be able to act recklessly in the future.
