Final Project: Historic Boston Reference Materials

1. The American Revolution ran from 1775 to 1783 and eight year period of time during which the Americans demanded and achieved freedom from the British Government. The Boston Tea Party occurred in the city of Boston on December 16th 1776. When three ships containing tea arrived in Boston Harbor. Led by Sam Adams and the sons of liberty.

1776 map of Boston - this is one of many historical maps of Boston - dated 1776. One of the most astounding facts for me is that there was a significant part of Boston (today) that was underwater in 1776. We are living on a landfill!

In 1776 Boston with a population of 15,000 was the second to largest city in what is now the United States .Largest Cities in the US in 1776 This next link provides all kinds of information about what Boston looked like in 1776 and how it grew over time. Boston History Beginning with a comparison of today's map of Boston to one in 1776. The look and feel of Boston in 1776 would be more like farm country to me today. Animals were common, they were used for transportation, food, clothing etc. The clothing very conservative and consistent with that era.

There are a number of man made structures from 1776 - not the least of which was Fort Independence located at Castle Island occupied by the British in 1776 before they were chased out. Many of our natural barriers assisted with this altercation: the Charles River, the Concord River, the number of mountains and hills and vegetation that provided protection to the american soldiers during this war.
