Boston Virtual Field Trip

In the 18^th century, Boston was one of the most important cities in the British-American colonies. It was known for its bustling port, numerous printshops, political ideals, and lively taverns. In the 1760s and 70s, Boston took on a new role of revolutionary host. Boston is the birthplace of the American War for Independence and will be not just a key city in the Revolution strategically, but also symbolically.
