Boston

Because the British took away all the taxes except the one on tea, this did not satisfy the Patriots that is why the Patriots dressed as mohawk indians and dumped 342 crates of tea into Boston Harbor.

They destroyed the tea by dumping it in Boston Harbor.

The last Republican mayor of Boston was Malcolm Nichols, from 1926 to 1930.

Boston was important because the Boston Massacre and Tea Party both happened here and also because this is where a lot o the fighting happened. Boston was also the home of John Adams.

Coffee was not around at the time.

The short version is that the tax was already paid while the tea sat waiting in the harbor, but nothing else was paid for because the tea never was sold. In fact the blockade of Boston harbor was entirely because England wanted to force the colony to pay for that tea.

The long version is that this was the tinder box which first brought a significant number of british troops against the colonists and made possible the first battles in lexington and concord.

It was organized by Mrs. Penelope Barke on October 25, 1774. For more information, check out the related link.

I'm not sure it's accurate to say Paul Revere wasn't considered an American hero. He was widely admired, and his "midnight ride" to warn the colonists of the arrival of British troops saved lives. He was also known as a silversmith and a craftsman. Perhaps he did not have as big a name as John Hancock or Samuel Adams, but people in Boston definitely respected him and considered him a patriot.

Currently, Andrew Ference wears #21 for the Boston Bruins.

Different people would give different answers to that question. There is no one right answer. My answer would be that it represents the hopes and dreams and aspirations of the American people from the time of the founding to the present day; it represents the yearning of a free people to have a free government answerable to them but strong enough to effect the proper purposes of government and it represent the absolute genius of the men who framed it, the first such government in over two thousand years. Of course, the question, "What does it represent?" is very different from the question, "What is it?"

A total of five. While the colonists and later historians referred to it as a massacre, the truth is that not many people died during the event. The Boston Massacre took place on March 5, 1770, and it is considered by some scholars to be the first battle of what became the Revolutionary War. It was a motivating factor for the colonists, further convincing them of the need to rebel against England. Among the five who died was a free black man names Crispus Attucks.

It was the struggle that triggered the start of the Revolutionary War. British troops had been in Boston for 8 years and Americans finally got them to evacuate.

The tea party took place in Boston which in 1775 was a major colonial city but not a capital.

The Boston Harbor is located next to the City of Boston, located in Massachusetts. It is a natural body of water off of Massachusetts Bay. It is known to be very pretty.

The fable of Revere comes from a Longfellow poem written in 1861 and in reality he didn't ride through the night yelling about the British coming. Longfellow wrote his poem on the eve of the civil war to remind people of the nation's history. Somehow the poem became part of history and was put into history books as fact. Revere never finished the ride, his horse was taken away and he was held by a British patrol, but thanks to Longfellow we all know who he is. He billed Congress for the ride and the cost of the horse since it was taken from him and it didn't belong to him. It was borrowed. His one big contribution was the picture on a flier after the Boston Massacre showing colonist getting shot by the British. This was pure propaganda and was used to incite discontent between the colonist and the British troops.

The result of the Tea Party was a complete shut down of the harbor. This meant that no goods came in and nothing went out. Troop levels were also increased and the city of Boston was under siege. When the war started the siege of Boston took it's toll. There was a shortage of food, wood ( church pews, barns, ships, trees were burned to keep homes warm). and other things were needed by the population. The British army was settled into Boston and it stayed this way until Lexington and Concord. This happen April 19 and in June the Battle of Bunker Hill took place. When Bunker Hill happened firewood was selling for 20.00 a cord and the population of Boston fled. There were only about 4,000 civilians under siege and at least half were women and children. Food remain scarce and dear. Even horse meat was bought at high prices and the troops plundered what they could find. Washington took command of the Americans on July 3. When the king heard of the outcome of Bunker Hill he stated "We must persist." The next major event in Boston will be the bombardment of Dorchester Heights by the British.

Basically what she did was blocked their ocean traffic and the they passed what they called the justice bill. The Bostonians it as "The intolerable act" Because they had been cut off from most town held meetings, also, the British did not bring them food or clothing, until the tea they had dumbed had been paid for. (Mind you, the tea was expensive, and they dumped chests full!) They relied on other colonies and such for food and clothing.

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.

The tea was loose tea in chests or barrels. This is how things were shipped in the 1700's. Historians don't tell the exact number from the 4 ships.
