History and Cities of Massachusetts
Known as “the Bay State,” the Commonwealth of Massachusetts has played a key role in the development of the United States on multiple occasions throughout the country’s history. In 1620, Plymouth Colony was built as one of the first 13 original colonies by settlers aboard the Mayflower who sought religious freedom. Considered one of the most famous stories of American colonization, the first harvest of Plymouth Colony is immortalized in American culture with national Thanksgiving Day feasts held each year in November. It’s capital, Boston, is renowned for two events that would serve as an incubator for the American Revolution the infamous “Boston Massacre” and the “Boston Tea Party.” These events would provide the impetus for turning colonial sentiment against British governorship and later the Battles of Lexington and Concord would be fought in Massachusetts, officially beginning the Revolutionary War with its first battles.
Today, Massachusetts continues to make history and leave a mark on American culture. From being the first state in the country to legalize gay marriage in 2004 to the legalization of recreational marijuana in 2013.
