  • Philadelphia in an Age of Change, 1785-1800 By
    Specialized residential and business districts : Philadelphia in an age of change, 1785-1800 by Thomas Samuel Gentry A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in History Montana State University © Copyright by Thomas Samuel Gentry (1988) Abstract: Philadelphia in 1785 was a city on the brink of economic expansion. The carrying trade promoted the financial growth of the city. Even though Philadelphia became a trading center in the 1790s, the economic boom affected only a very small segment of society. Examining local records such as the city tax lists, city directories, newspaper accounts, and the Federal Direct Tax of 1798, one realizes that while the economy flourished, for many people the 1790s were an age of poverty. The carrying trade helped those in a position to benefit from trade with England, France, and the West Indies; however, due to the rapid growth in population, lower income Philadelphians were left out of this trading circle. While many merchants prospered their working class counterparts fell into poverty. Artisans and craftspeople found that their piece of the monetary pie was becoming smaller and smaller throughout the period. As the 1790s progressed the wage of artisans, laborers, and craftspeople dropped considerably. The drop in the wage is directly reflected in the city tax lists for the 1780s and 1790s. Workers found it harder to make ends meet. Changes in property values in the 1790s aggravated the problems of the workers, forcing them to move to more affordable accommodations in different parts of Philadelphia. Places like North Mulberry and South Ward became havens for workers in the 1790s, as businesses devoted to the carrying trade moved into the buildings along the Delaware River.
