What was Boston like when Paul Revere was 75?

Answer 1

In 1734, when Paul Revere was born (in a small wooden house in what is today called the North End), Boston was not yet officially a city. It was however, a very important and very busy port, where many ships came from Europe and elsewhere. Trade and commerce were extremely important, and so was the fishing industry. Immigration was also becoming more common, as the population of Boston was steadily growing. There would not have been paved roads, although some streets did have cobblestones; people got around the narrow streets either by walking or, for longer distances, riding on horseback.

Nearly all residents of greater Boston at that time would have been members of the Protestant faith, and most were white, although there were a few blacks, most notably Crispus Attucks (the first person killed in the Boston Massacre in 1770). As Paul Revere grew, he would have been taught a trade (in his case, being a silversmith), as men who were not sailors supported their family through becoming printers, tailors, gold or silversmiths, blacksmiths, carpenters, etc. There were also doctors and members of the clergy.
