Concert Saloon Bill of 1862

Last updated

In 1862 in New York City, "concert saloons" were the fare for evening entertainment for the male population of the thriving metropolis. [1] To cut down on the growing decadence and crime that came with it, the Concert Saloon Bill was passed to rein in loose morality in the city.
