This question comes to us from walkingthroughthisworld through the AskHistorians Tumblr:
why Boston? What were the cultural, social, economic, and political factors that resulted in Boston becoming the center of resistance to the British empire in the late 18th C. as opposed to any of the other major cities (New York, Philadelphia, or Charleston for example) in the colonies? What does this tell us about resistance and revolution?
