Receta Spicy Sausage with Pasta
by Christine Lamb

Before

industrialization, salt was extremely expensive and labor intensive to harvest mass

quantities of salt necessary for food preservation and seasoning. This made

salt an extremely valuable commodity. Entire economies were based on salt

production and trade.

In

Iron Age, the British evaporated salt by boiling seawater or brine from salt

spri­ngs in small clay pots over open fires. Roman salt making entailed boiling

the seawater in large lead lined pans. Salt was used as currency in ancient Rome,

and the roots of the words "soldier" and "salary" can be

traced to Latin words related to giving or receiving salt. During the Middle

Ages, salt was transported along roads built especially for that purpose. One

of the most famous of these roads is the Old Salt Route in Northern Germany,

which ran from the salt mines to shipping ports.

Salt

taxes and monopolies have led to wars and protests everywhere from China to

parts of Africa. Anger over the salt tax was one of the causes of the French

Revolution. In colonial India, only the British government could produce and

profit from the salt production conducted by Indians living on the coast. Gandhi

chose to protest this monopoly in March 1930 and marched for 23 days with his

followers. When he arrived on the coast, Gandhi violated the law by boiling a

chunk of salty mud. This march became known as the Salt March to Dandi, or the Salt Satyagraha. People

across India began making their own salt in protest, and the march became an

important milestone in the struggle for Indian independence.

Salt

production also played a significant role in early America. The Massachusetts

Bay Colony held the first patent to produce salt in the colonies and continued

to produce it for the next 200 years. The Erie Canal was opened primarily to

make salt transportation easier, and during the Civil War, the Union captured

significant Confederate salt works and created a temporary salt shortage in the

Confederate states. It continues to be important to the economies of many

states, including Ohio, Louisiana and Texas.
