Many towns and cities were attacked by the British. They laid siege to Boston and cut them off from supplies and help. The winter of 1776 was extremely cold and the people of Boston ran out of wood and coal. They began to burn church pews and anything else they could find to stay warm. It was a very bad time for the people of Boston.

Why was concord an important city in 1778?
Because Concord was the city where the Americans were supposadly hiding weapons (which they were), so the British marched from Boston to Lexington, to Concord... This is when Paul Revere warns people "The British are Coming" Unfortunately, he never made it to warn about the British, but Dr. Prescott did... He warned the people of Concord about the oncoming attack, and the militia came to ready...... This was one of the FIRST battles the Americans won in the Revolutionary war.... -Go History =)
