HISTORY

Boston was the first city in the United States to celebrate First Night. It came into existence in 1976 to bring the neighboring communities of the city together in a joint celebration, while providing the public with an alternative way of ushering in the New Year. The commitment of a group of private citizens to these goals marked the beginning of a new tradition: The First Night Celebration. Since 1980, this concept has inspired many communities from Tampa to Honolulu, to start their own First Night Celebrations.

The time difference between England (GMT) and America can vary depending on the specific region in America. For example, the time difference between England and Eastern Standard Time (EST) is typically 5 hours when England is on GMT and America is on EDT. Similarly, the time difference between England and Pacific Standard Time (PST) is typically 8 hours.

Early settlers had experienced many civil atrocities that occurred in Europe in the name of Christianity, such as the inquisition and the tortures during the crusades and many of the settlers had experienced persecution for practicing their own faith in Europe, the settlers wanted to prevent these things from happening here in the states and they were convinced that the atrocities in Europe were a result of wide spread illiteracy in general and a lack of biblical knowledge in particular. Since they could not read, it allowed the government to widely teach the masses that the bible required the church and state leaders of Europe (there was a national church) to be heavy handed. Because they were illiterate and could not read they scriptures themselves to learn otherwise they allowed and even participated in these acts. Because of the abuse of power that was imposed on a biblically illiterate people the settlers were convinced that if the common people could read and learn the word of God for themselves they would resist the evil government. Hence the law "The Old Deluder Satan Act of 1647". So to answer your question, the establishment of Public schools was for the direct purpose of teaching the masses how to read the bible in particular. Please see one of the early text books that were required for students called The New England Primer. This is still sold through amazon for about $6 or so and is biblically focused. Oh, how far we have come as a nation where everyone is trying to secularize the history of our government, take prayer and God out of schools. We must know our history and not listen to what the media has to say about it.

No, it is not. I assume you are referring to the TV show "Suite Life," where Zack and Cody lived there. But the hotel was fictional. There is no such hotel in Boston.

It is 439 miles according to Google Maps.

"How long do seatbelt tickets stay on your driving record?" In many states a seatbelt violation is considered a non-moving violation and is not entered on your record. If it is entered it stays on for three years. Your DMV can tell you the policy in your home state. lwpat http://www.speedingticketcentral.com

Because people didn't have any food or money so they decided to go to the workhouse so they could have a home to live in.

The Back Bay. Was then, is now. The South End was actually built up as housing for the servants of Beacon Hill and Back Bay families. According to W. Firey in his 1947 Book, "Land Use in Central Boston" (Harvard U Press), The Social Register listed 1,922 households of which 1,519 were in the city and 403 in the suburbs (mainly Cambridge, Newton, and Brookline).

Of the 1,519 households in the city of Boston, 867 were in Back Bay, 280 were in Beacon Hill, and 56 in Jamaica Plain. By 1988 There were 2,732 households listed in the Boston Social Register but a mere 111 found in Back Bay and 128 in Beacon Hill. These numbers were eclipsed by Cambridge (209 Households), Chestnut Hill (153), Manchester (158), Dedham (143), and Brookline (132). Wellesley was close with 102 households in 1988. These statistics are from my book (Stephen R. Higley Ph.D.), "Privilege, Power, and Place: The Geography of the American Upper Class" published in 1995 by Rowman & Littlefield.

In 1822, Boston had officially become a city. But it was not like the modern city we see today with many hospitals and universities. In the early 1830s, Boston was still much smaller than New York or Philadelphia-- there were about 62,000 residents, most of whom lived in or near the city because there were still no paved roads. Boston was dominated by upper-class white Protestants: many of the city's leaders were concentrated in the financial district, near the waterfront. City Hall and the State House were also not far from the waterfront, which was very important to the economy. In an era before transcontinental travel by railroad, Boston still relied on its harbor, which provided goods from overseas. Shop-keepers and merchants eagerly awaited the arrival of new merchandise, while the city leaders sometimes received visits from European dignitaries, who came by ship. Those Bostonians who were not wealthy or members of the upper class still worked in or near the city, since it was a center of population. The average person worked in one of the various skilled trades (blacksmith, shoemaker, dressmaker, etc), or engaged in farming.

Boston in the 1830s had a number of Protestant churches; but there were perhaps one or two Jewish families (and no synagogues yet), and not many Catholics lived there either. That would not change till the 1840s-1850s, when the beginnings of a massive wave of immigrants from Europe and Scandinavia arrived. But something important occurred in the mid-1830s, and it brought a number of changes to Boston: in 1835, the first steam-powered railroads made their debut. This meant that people in Boston could much more quickly and easily get to other parts of the state or other parts of the east to do business, or to visit friends. Improvements in transportation also meant that people from far away or rural portions of Massachusetts could now get to the "big city" to seek work or sell their goods.

In 1903, the Boston team (which was not yet called the Red Sox) had some loyal and devoted fans, known as the Royal Rooters. These fans took a love song that was a big hit that year and used it to loudly mock and parody players on the opposing team. For example, the real lyrics said something like "I love you madly," but the Rooters would sing at a certain player "Why do you play so badly?"

Years later, Boston's own Dropkick Murphys did a rock version of "Tessie," updating the lyrics. Midway through 2004, when it seemed the Red Sox would yet again fail to win the pennant (which had gone on for 86 years), the Dropkick Murphys began to perform their version of Tessie at Fenway Park during the 7th inning stretch. It rallied the team and it rallied the fans. Throughout the season, the song became almost like an anthem, spurring the Red Sox on to victory and to the World Series, where they finally won.

On the offensive side of the ball, there is the play caller, or the quarterback. Usually, there are fullbacks, running backs and halfbacks. They run the ball. Running backs and halfbacks are basically the same, but the fullback is designed for power running. If you ever need a yard or two, call on the fullback to get those yards up the middle of the defense. You have an offensive line doing all the hard work, yet they never get much credit. They block the incoming defenders and hold them off to either give the running backs a hole to go through, or time for the quarterback to throw a pass. The quarterback has 1-5 receivers on the field at a time and these are the people he throws it to.

On the defense, you have the down lineman. These go up against the offensive linemen and try to tackle the player with the ball. You then have the linebackers lined up directly behind the linemen. They can defend the pass and the run and are very strong and aggressive. Then you have your defensive backs. These are corners and safeties. The corners defend the receivers and try to stop them from catching a pass from the quarterback. Then the safeties are basically the safety valves. If a big pass or run is made the the safeties are there to stop them from gaining anymore yards. That is the roster for college football

In my opinion, it was William Bradford, but it could be a great number of people.

Hi, from what I can find the Free Home for Consumptives was run by the YLCA - Young Ladies Charitable Association started by some sisters of St Joseph or some such? Have a spoon with YLCA and Free Home for Consumptives notated. Some references to the charities work and the home in a book "Woman; Her Position, Influence & Achievement Throughout the Civilized World" William C King. Speaks about Woman in Philanthropy". Sounds like late 1890's to early 1900's. Latest reference I have found is approx 1911 but not sure of earliest reference. According to the Catholic Encyclopedia: John Joseph Williams. Fourth bishop, consecrated 11 March, 1866 was the Bishop in Boston when the Free Home for Consumptives was created sometime around 1891. Seems to be associated with the Catholic charities during that time.

A Red Sox player. There cant really be a difference.
