∙ 7y agoIn the 1700's Boston was a major port and city in the colonies. It was also seen by the crown as the source for the revolution because of the Tea Party, Bunker Hill, and Lexington.This made it important and the British took it over in 1775 for over a year. They held the high ground and the siege of Boston choked the city with no supplies going in and the port was closed. It was one of the coldest winter in years and they ran out of wood so started burning church pews to keep warm. On March 17 1776 the British evacuated the town and the siege came to an end.
