History of Boston

History of Boston

massachusetts history

Founded on the Shawmut Peninsula in 1639, Boston is one of the United States oldest municipalities. It was founded by Puritan settlers from the British town of Puritan. The territory played a crucial role during the American Revolution. When the British Parliament passed the Stamp Act in 1765, a Boston mob attacked the homes of Thomas Hutchinson, the then Lieutenant Governor of Massachusetts and Andrew Oliver, who was the official tasked with enforcing the Act. Boston citizens also rebelled against the Tea Act, which many saw as a means to force them into accepting taxes established by the Townshend Act. The angry Boston citizens overthrew a whole shipment of tea sent by the East India Company into the Boston Harbor. This event was vital in the series of events that led to the revolution as the British government responded with the Coercive Acts, which authorized compensation for the damaged tea. This move angered colonists and led to the American Revolutionary War, during which Boston's territory was besieged for almost a year. The British Army captured the Boston territory during the war after the battle of Bunker Hill. A prolonged stalemate followed due to both parties having suffered long-lasting damage and a limited supply of weapons. Weeks later, George Washington took over the militia, which eventually sent the British out of American territory. The day this victory was achieved is still celebrated annually as "Evacuation Day" in Boston.
