Candlemaking History

Candle played an exceptional role in the revolutionary war in the us. Every major event including warnings of impending attacks from the British was communicated through candles. There's never been a tradition of a dedicated candlemaker in the usa. Instead the role of making candles was typically assigned to Mother and Daughters in a family. There was clearly an annual requirement for most households which is between 200 - 400 candles a year. Like other similar crafts women would sometimes form social groups in order to make candles.This helped in pulling resources together and as well made it more fun.
