Welcome
to U.S. history!
During the 1820s and 30s the number
of transients, travelers and Americans on the move increased dramatically. To cater to
such people entrepreneurs provided a new type of
hotel in center of town, a hotel which provided food, drinks, comfortable lodging and
meeting rooms.
It's the type of hotel which we find
nowadays any place any where on this planet.
Yet Blacks and single women were not
allowed, the poor couldn't afford it. There were no classes however, which was news
to any noble European visitor accustomed to being treated according to his title and
origin. Never mind the Count or Countess title, here in America all what counted was
money.
The professional politicians and
salesmen alike found rest and privacy in this newly built hotels as well as company and
gossip over a drink or two.
Many hotels became the gathering
places for the political parties and with this became an important part in the American
way of governing a country.
