The Brits drew up the Port Act as punishment. No vessels could enter Boston Harbor. They had to go to Plymouth instead. The British hoped this would destroy Boston as a political center. It didn't work.

Colonial Massachusetts - Massachusetts was the most important northern colony, as well as an important part of New England, where many American institutions and traditions were formed. Unlike southern colonies, it was built around small towns, rather than scattered farms. The Pilgrims settled the Plymouth Colony, and Puritan settlers traveled to Salem and later to Boston in the Massachusetts Bay Colony. As the Puritans gradually secularized and became known as Yankees, the Congregational Church continued to dominate most small towns. Late in the colonial period Baptist and other dissenting churches emerged, and the elites in Boston and other cities turned to the Anglican and Unitarian religions. The colony defeated some Indian tribes in King Philip's War in the 1670s, and fought with Britain a series of French and Indian Wars that were characterized by brutal border raids, and successful attacks on Canada. \nPre-revolutionary events - Massachusetts was a center of the American Revolution, with actions by the patriots and counter-actions by the Crown (including the Intolerable Acts) a main reason for unity of the 13 colonies and the outbreak of war, starting with battles around Boston in 1775-76. Also see Boston Massacre, Boston Tea Party. \nBattles of the American Revolution - Battles of Lexington and Concord, Siege of Boston, Battle of Bunker Hill. \nFirst Governor of the Commonwealth - John Hancock was the first governor of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. \nShays' Rebellion - Western Massachusetts uprising after the Revolution. \nU.S. Constitution - On February 6, 1788, Massachusetts became the sixth state to ratify the United States Constitution. \nSlavery - According to a 1790 census, Massachusetts had a slave population of zero. \nDistrict of Maine - On March 15, 1820, Maine was separated from Massachusetts, of which it had been a non-contiguous part, and entered the Union as the 23rd State. (See Missouri Compromise) \nU.S. Civil War - The 54th Massachusetts Volunteer Infantry was one of the first African-American regiments in the U.S. military. \nThe Central Artery/Tunnel Project (CA/T) - Known as the Big Dig to locals, it is the most expensive single highway construction project in the United States. The project began 1991, with final construction occurring in 2006. \nRoman Catholic Church sex abuse scandal - In 2002, the diocese was found to have knowingly moved priests who sexually molested children from parish to parish and to have covered up abuse. \nSame-sex marriage - On November 18, 2003, the Supreme Judicial Court (SJC) ruled that the state could not deny marriage rights to same-sex couples under the state constitution. Same-sex marriage is currently legal in Massachusetts. \nInvention of sports: \nCandlepin bowling was invented in Worcester, Massachusetts in 1880. \nBasketball was invented in Springfield, Massachusetts in 1891. \nVolleyball was invented in Holyoke, Massachusetts in 1895.

There were two Boston tea parties! \n\n      Everyone knows how 50 or 60 "Sons of Liberty," disguised as Mohawks, protested the 3 cents per pound British tax on tea by dumping chests of the popular drink into Boston Harbor on December 16, 1773. Fewer know that the improper Bostonians repeated the performance on March 7, 1774. The two tea parties cost the British around $3 million in modern money\n\n\n History's first submarine attack took place in New York Harbor in 1776! \n\n      The Connecticut inventor David Bushnell called his submarine the Turtle because it resembled two large tortoise shells of equal size joined together. The watertight hull was made of 6-inch-thick oak timbers coated with tar. On September 6, 1776, the Turtle targeted the HMS Eagle, flagship of the British fleet. The submarine was supposed to secure a cask of gunpowder to the hull of the Eagle and sneak away before it exploded. Unfortunately, the Turtle got entangled with the Eagle's rudder bar, lost ballast and surfaced before the gunpowder could be planted. \n\nBenedict Arnold was the best general in the Continental Army! \n\n      "Without Benedict Arnold in the first three years of the war," says the historian George Neumann, "we would probably have lost the Revolution." In 1775, the future traitor came within a whisker of conquering Canada. In 1776, he built a fleet and fought a bigger British fleet to a standstill on Lake Champlain. At Saratoga in 1777, his brilliant battlefield leadership forced the British army to surrender. The victory persuaded the French to join the war on the American side. Ironically, Arnold switched sides in 1780 partly because he disapproved of the French alliance\n\n By 1779, as many as one in seven Americans in Washington's army was black! \n\n      At first Washington was hesitant about enlisting blacks. But when he heard they had fought well at Bunker Hill, he changed his mind. The all-black First Rhode Island Regiment -- composed of 33 freedmen and 92 slaves who were promised freedom if they served until the end of the war -- distinguished itself in the Battle of Newport. Later, they were all but wiped out in a British attack. \nThere were women in the Continental Army, even a few who saw combat! \n\n      Probably the best known is Mary Ludwig Hays, nicknamed "Molly Pitcher." She replaced her wounded husband at his cannon during the Battle of Monmouth in 1778. Another wife of an artilleryman, Margaret Corbin, was badly wounded serving in her husband's gun crew at the Battle of Harlem Heights in 1776. Thousands of other women served in Washington's army as cooks and nurses.\n\nBy 1779, there were more Americans fighting with the British than with Washington! \n\n      There were no less than 21 regiments (estimated to total 6,500 to 8,000 men) of loyalists in the British army. Washington reported a field army of 3,468. About a third of Americans opposed the Revolution. \n\nKing George almost abdicated the throne when the British lost! \n\n      After Yorktown, George III vowed to keep fighting. When parliament demurred, the King wrote a letter of abdication -- then withdrew it. He tried to console himself with the thought that Washington would become a dictator and make the Americans long for royal rule. When he was told that Washington planned to resign his commission, the monarch gasped: "If he does that, sir, he will be the greatest man in the world

The British were milking America for everything it could get, including high taxes on EVERYTHING, and ruling America like a dictatorship, so the Americans didnt have a say in their own government. \n\nThis led to calls for `no taxation without representation` (ie, some say in their own ruling) which the British rejected.  \n\nSo the colonists revolted.  Those who supported the English went to Canada and those who resisted the English won the war of independence and set up the US constitution.

Paul Revere was nervous before his famous ride. He forgot two things on his way to the boat that took him across Boston Harbor, his spurs and the cloth to wrap around the oars to prevent splashing. He borrowed spurs for his ride from one of the men rowing the boat, but for the cloth, it took a little bit more work. One of the men that was going to row the boat took them a couple of blocks to his sweetheart's place. After telling her what they needed, she took off her peticoat and through it down to them from the upstairs window. The man who caught it wrote in his journal that it was still warm when it fell into his hands.\n\nHistory is just full of fun little side stories.\n\nPaul Revere later went on to create the first coins of the United States. (He was a silversmith by trade, afterall.) The raw materials he used ... Martha Washington's silver tea set.

It began after the First Continental Congress?  LMAO..  Research it, using wikipedia, the encyclopedia and other sources.  Then report as if you are a star chasing paparazzi, clamoring to view Washington's newest girl, Franklin's bling bling and Jefferson's mixed kids....have fun with it.

It appears that the 'Thompson' family of Mendon Massachusetts did this.\n\nThe Thompsons of Mendon lived quite a ways from the town church, which was the epicenter of towns back then. On November 17, 1719, they made a formal complaint (to the Mendon town leaders) that they lived too far from the Congregational Church and the school to utilize their services, yet were required to pay taxes to support them. As a solution, they proposed establishing a new town called 'Bellingham'.\n\nI've listed my reference below. Hope this is what you were looking for.\n\njdmorningreport

The American victory at Saratoga was an extremely important one. It ended the British plan to separate New England from the other colonies. It also showed European nations that the new country might really be able to win its revolutionary war. This was something that France, especially, had wanted ever since being defeated by the British earlier in the French and Indian War. \n\nThe French government had been supplying the Americans secretly through the work of America's minister to France, Benjamin Franklin. Franklin was popular with the French people and with French government officials. He helped gain French sympathy for the American cause. \n\nAfter the American victory at Saratoga, the French decided to enter the war on the American side. The government recognized American independence. The two nations signed military and political treaties. France and Britain were at war once again. The British immediately sent a message to America's Continental Congress. They offered to change everything so relations would be as they had been in 1773. The Americans rejected the offer. The war would be fought to the end. \n\nIn 1779 Spain entered the war against the British. And the next year, the British were also fighting the Dutch to stop their trade with America. The French sent gunpowder, soldiers, officers, and ships to the Americans. However, neither side made much progress in the war for the next two years.

The American Revolution is the series of events, ideas, and changes that resulted in the political separation of thirteen colonies in North America from the British Empire and the creation of the United States of America. The American Revolutionary War (1775–1783) was one part of the revolution, but the revolution began before the first shot was fired at Lexington and Concord and continued after the British surrender at Yorktown. "The Revolution was effected before the War commenced," wrote John Adams. "The Revolution was in the minds and hearts of the people."

There were issues regarding the Brittish Crown's decision to have the Colonies of America pay for the French & Indian War.  This led to an outcry of "Taxation without Representation," the notion that Americans were being taxed by the Brittish Parlaiment without the American's voices being officially heard during the consideration.  \nAs a result, many started toying with the idea of independent rule.  This led to many other events and eventually the Declaration of Independence and the American Revolution.  David McCullough's 1776 is a great book to use as a guide.
