Pepper Pot Soup Helped the Continental Army Beat the British Troops “The Soup That Won The War,” Pepper Pot Soup Helped The Continental Army Beat The British Troops Having been nicknamed “the soup that won the war,” Pepper Pot has its very own day. National Pepper Pot Day is observed annually on December 29th. The winter of 1777 – 1778 was brutal. The Continental Army was fighting for the newly formed country of the United States of America. As they were camped at Valley Forge on December 29th, 1777, George Washington asked the army’s chef to prepare a meal that would boost their morale and warm them. The chef rounded up some peppercorn, small bits of meat, tripe and other ingredients and called it Pepper Pot Soup, also known as Philadelphia Pepper Pot Soup. The soldiers were low on food because the farmers in the area had gone and sold all their supplies to the British Army for cash rather than the weak currency that the Continental soldiers could offer. Christopher Ludwick, a baker general of the Continental Army, gathered whatever food he could scrounge together to feed the cold and frail soldiers. The chef was able to find scraps of tripe, meat, and some peppercorn. He then mixed the ingredients together with some other seasonings and created the hot, thick, and spicy soup we now know as pepper pot soup. It quickly became known as “the soup that won the war.” The soup gave the soldiers the warmth and strength that they needed to push the enemies back through the harsh winter weather. In the early 19th century, artist John Lewis Krimmel depicted the pepper pot street vendor in Philadelphia with his painting, Pepper-Pot: A Scene in the Philadelphia Market. Krimmel’s work was first exhibited in 1811 at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts. The painting shows a barefoot black woman serving soup from a pot to white customers. Pepper Pot shares the same name as soups in the Caribbean and is also credited to black Philadelphians. According to Catherine Clinton’s book on “Harriet Tubman” on page 46, “steaming peppery pot was served right on the street—a dish of vegetables, meat, and cassava, imported by West Indians”. A can of condensed Pepper Pot soup was available from the Campbell Soup Company for around 100 years until it was discontinued in 2010. A canned seafood Pepper Pot soup was formerly sold by Bookbinder Specialties, a gourmet soup manufacturer in the Philadelphia area. Andy Warhol used Campbell’s canned version in a famous 1962 painting, sold 12 years ago for almost $12m. The Philadelphia chapter of the Public Relations Society of America even began using the pepper pot as the symbol for its annual awards in 1968. Food historians tell us the history of soup is probably as old as the history of cooking. The act of combining various ingredients in a large pot to create a nutritious, filling, easily digested, simple to make/serve food was inevitable. This made it the perfect choice for both sedentary and travelling cultures, rich and poor, healthy people and invalids. Soup (and stews, pottage’s, porridge’s, gruel’s, etc.) evolved according to local ingredients and tastes. New England chowder, Spanish gazpacho, Russian borscht, Italian minestrone, French onion, Chinese won ton and Campbell’s tomato…are all variations on the same theme. Advancements in science enabled soups to take many forms…portable, canned, dehydrated, microwave-ready. “Pocket soup” was carried by colonial travelers, as it could easily be reconstituted with a little hot water. Canned and dehydrated soups were available in the 19th century. These supplied the military, covered wagon trains, cowboy chuck wagons, and the home pantry. “The etymological idea underlying the word soup is that of soaking. It goes back to an unrecorded post-classical Latin verb suppare soak’, which was borrowed from the same prehistoric German root (sup-) as produced in English sup and supper. From it was derived the noun suppa, which passed into Old French as soupe. This meant both piece of bread soaked in liquid’ and, by extension, broth poured onto bread.’ It was the latter strand of the meaning that entered English in the seventeenth century. Until the arrival of the term soup, such food had been termed broth or pottage. It was customarily served with the meat or vegetable dishes with which it had been made, and (as the derivation of soup suggest) was poured over sops of bread or toast (the ancestors of modern croutons). But coincident with the introduction of the world soup, it began to be fashionable to serve the liquid broth on its own, and in the early eighteenth century it was assuming its present-day role as a first course.” Etiquette experts tell us we “eat,” rather than “drink” soup because it is considered part of the meal. Additionally, in most cultures soup is consumed with a spoon rather than sipped from the container. What is the difference between soup and stew? On the most basic level there is no absolute difference. Like ancient pottage, both soup and stew descend from economical, easy, healthy, forgiving, and locally sourced family feeds. Throughout time, these two interrelated menu items converge and diverge. Modern American cultural context does, however, separate soup from stew quite simply. The test is not in the ingredients or method, but which course it is served. Soup is starter/accompaniment; stew is main course. In 1897 Dr. John T. Dorrance, who was a chemist with the Campbell soup company, invented condensed soup. The origin of word soup comes from the combination of two Sanskrit words suand po, which means good nutrition. Americans eat more than ten billion bowls of soup every year and their favorite is chicken noodle soup. In the U.K they love tomato soup. There is evidence that shows soups were being served around 6000 BC. Sources: National Day Calendar Days of the Year Wikipedia The Guardian Food Timeline National Days Today.

    The Friends & Neighbors of Putnam Memorial State Park “Connecticut’s Valley Forge” February 2012 NewsLetter Bethel/Redding CT “An Army Marches On Its Stomach” … In the January/February 2012 issue of the Patriots of the American Revolution Magazine, respected military historian Douglas Cubbison authored a wonderful article about the Baker General of the Continental Army, Christopher Ludwick. Ludwick was a Hessian and became a baker. He migrated to America and began a very successful baking career in Philadelphia. With the approach of the war of independence Ludwick became involved in the Patriot cause. He was a member of the Philadelphia Committee of Correspondence. He, as a successful businessman and Patriot donated both time and money to the local militia. After the war began, he was particularly interested in trying to convince German prisoners of war (Hessians), as well as active duty Hessian troops, to come over to the American side. By the spring of 1777, according to Cubbison’s article, it was apparent that the American Commissary system responsible for feeding the Continental Army was in disarray. Congress offered Ludwick an appointment as superintendent of bakers and as director of baking in the Army of the United States; Baker General of the Continental Army. From that day forth the quality and quantity of bread for the troops in the army was considerably improved. Ludwick remained in this post for the remainder of the war. We will return to Ludwig momentarily, but to sum up his objectives for the army … there were two important military leaders in the eighteenth century that were attributed as saying.

  • 'Deprived of Their Liberty'
    'DEPRIVED OF THEIR LIBERTY': ENEMY PRISONERS AND THE CULTURE OF WAR IN REVOLUTIONARY AMERICA, 1775-1783 by Trenton Cole Jones A dissertation submitted to Johns Hopkins University in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Baltimore, Maryland June, 2014 © 2014 Trenton Cole Jones All Rights Reserved Abstract Deprived of Their Liberty explores Americans' changing conceptions of legitimate wartime violence by analyzing how the revolutionaries treated their captured enemies, and by asking what their treatment can tell us about the American Revolution more broadly. I suggest that at the commencement of conflict, the revolutionary leadership sought to contain the violence of war according to the prevailing customs of warfare in Europe. These rules of war—or to phrase it differently, the cultural norms of war— emphasized restricting the violence of war to the battlefield and treating enemy prisoners humanely. Only six years later, however, captured British soldiers and seamen, as well as civilian loyalists, languished on board noisome prison ships in Massachusetts and New York, in the lead mines of Connecticut, the jails of Pennsylvania, and the camps of Virginia and Maryland, where they were deprived of their liberty and often their lives by the very government purporting to defend those inalienable rights. My dissertation explores this curious, and heretofore largely unrecognized, transformation in the revolutionaries' conduct of war by looking at the experience of captivity in American hands. Throughout the dissertation, I suggest three principal factors to account for the escalation of violence during the war. From the onset of hostilities, the revolutionaries encountered an obstinate enemy that denied them the status of legitimate combatants, labeling them as rebels and traitors.

  • The American Revolution in Four Questions: Digging Deeper for Unfamiliar Stories
    THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION IN FOUR QUESTIONS: DIGGING DEEPER FOR UNFAMILIAR STORIES AUTHOR: Adrienne G. Whaley, Director of Education and Community Engagement, Museum of the American Revolution There is nothing more common than to confound the terms of the American revolution with those of the late “ American war. The American war is over: but this is far from being the case with the American revolution. On the contrary, nothing but the first act of the great drama is closed. It remains yet to establish and perfect our new forms of government; and to prepare the principles, morals, and manners of our citizens, for these forms of government, after they are established and brought to perfection. Dr. Benjamin Rush Address to the People of the United States, January 17871 What was the American Revolution? When, even, was the American Revolution? Perhaps these sound like simplistic As we approach the 250th anniversary of the Declaration questions when teachers and students dedicate so much time of Independence, the American Revolution offers students every year to the study of this foundational moment in United hundreds of potential topic ideas for National History Day States history. Yet Dr. Benjamin Rush, a Philadelphia physician projects. Consider some of the ideas and digital resources in and a signer of the U.S. Declaration of Independence, invited this article to inspire student research. Americans to ask these questions in 1787, while the war was still quite fresh in their minds. He also implicitly encouraged The Revolutionary era was full of conflict and them to ask others as well, as they considered the years-long contradictions, soaring ideals, surprising successes, and struggle they had just been through and what work needed to deep disappointments.

  • Highlights from the History of St Michael's
    Highlights from the History of St Michael’s • The year 1728 is used as the birth date of St Michael’s. However, the actual date is presumed earlier as St Michael’s first pastor, the Rev. Anthony Jacob Henckel died in 1728. He served the fledgling congregation for an unknown period prior to his death. • The Rev. Henry Melchoir Muhlenberg referred to as “the ‘church father’ of Lutheranism in the United States” (Gritsch, p. 175), served as Pastor of St Michael’s Church from 1743-1745 • On October 1, 1752, “a black man,” presumably a slave, was baptized at St Michael’s. This may have marked the first act of integration in Lutheran history. How fitting for a congregation known for its diversity, inclusive of people no matter one’s race, economic status, or sexual orientation • During the war, British troops looted the parsonage, broke into St. Michael’s sanctuary, and tore organ pipes from their mounting. The Redcoats ran down Germantown Avenue blowing the pipes to celebrate their victory. • The current structure is the 3rd building on the site. The first sanctuary was built in 1746. By 1752, the sacristy, bell tower, and pipe organ were complete. The original sanctuary was razed and replaced in 1819. The Sunday School building was added in 1866. • The coffee shop “Little Jimmies” now occupies the historic one-room Beggarstown School House built in 1740 and listed as part of the Colonial Germantown National Landmark Historic District. • St Michael’s historic cemetery contains the remains of at least 4 Revolutionary War soldiers who were killed in a British ambush in 1777 about 3 miles from the cemetery entrance.

  • Spies, Spies, Everywhere
    24 Spies, Spies, Everywhere INTRODUCTION During the Revolutionary War, a variety of methods were used to gather information about the enemy or to disrupt the enemy’s activities, including military intelligence, counterintelligence, deception, and propaganda. OBJECTIVES As a result of this lesson, students will be able to: 1. Examine several accounts of American and British espionage during the American Revolution. 2. Determine what motivated an individual to be a spy. 3. Analyze the success or failure of a spy’s actions. 4. Explain how espionage affected the outcome of the American Revolution. STANDARDS OF LEARNING This lesson meets the National Standards of Learning in the areas of historical issues-analysis and decision making. MATERIALS Situation Cards 1–12 The Matrix Graphic Organizer SETTING THE STAGE Ask students what comes to mind when they hear the word “spy.” Conduct a class discussion by asking students to think about inviting imaginary Revolutionary War spies into the classroom. What would they look like? What kind of clothing would they wear? What items would they carry? [Note to teacher: The discussion will probably lead to stereotypical answers—for instance, a man, a soldier, wearing a uniform, wearing black clothing, carrying a pistol or other weapon. By the time students complete this lesson they should realize, however, that spying involved citizens of all descriptions and from all walks of life.] STRATEGY 1. Divide the class into small groups. Distribute a copy of The Matrix Graphic Organizer to each student. Demonstrate the use of the Graphic Organizer by working through Situation 1. Distribute two Situation Cards to each group.
