Massachusetts
Massachusetts has been at the forefront of American history for well over 250
years. The Pilgrims came ashore in 1620, and Massachusetts became the site of
the first Thanksgiving in the fall of 1621. In the 1700's, as the economy of the
area benefited from abundant fishing, trading, and shipbuilding, the residents
became increasingly rebellious against Britain's persistent taxation. In 1773,
history was made when Bostonians had their famous Tea Party, boarding a British
tea ship, and tossing the tea into Boston Harbor in protest of unfair taxation.
As skirmishes with the British became earnest battles of the Revolution, the spirit
of the patriots swept the countryside, and when the British were forced out of
Boston in 1776, the Americans knew the tides were turning in their favor . |
