egtnntng0 !n every section of Boston, something has happened that has shaped our country. The Boston Tea Party, which took place in Boston Harbor, ex- pressed the colonist ' s disillu- sionment with and anger at En- gland, and the colonist ' s desire to be free. Every year at the site of Griffin ' s Wharf, where the ship carrying the tea was moored, colonial rebels reinact the infamous revolt of the British taxes, the Boston Tea Party. Boston is one of the few cities in America that keeps its history so alive. History is juxtaposed with modern images of new technologies. The Old Trinity Church, for example, nestles up next to Boston ' s tallest sky- scraper the John Hancock Tow- er. The Constitution and Faneuil Hall are only two of the monu- ments to great times in history. How could one live sur- rounded by these artifacts, sta- tues and places and not feel a part of the historical fabric of our country? Bostonians have always been extremely proud of their city and the role it has played in the founding of the United States of America. How wonderful to grow up near the Old North Church where Paul Revere saw his two if by sea. Or to pass Ben Franklin ' s home everyday on the way to work. But Bostonians do not take these sites for granted. They want to keep history alive and want other to come and see for themselves where it all began. The Old State House is an im- portant site of many historical events. Perhaps the most famous event was the Boston Massacre, of 1 770. The shoot- ing of the English soldiers here did much to solidify the feelings against the British and for inde- pendence. The battle of Bunker Hill is one of the most well known of the Revolutionary War, and it is a favorite site for tourists. De- spite the American loss there, this battle in the winter of 1 776 proved to the English that the colonists could stand firm with military skill. Boston is recognized for the part it played in the birth of our nation. But Boston did not stop contributing in 1 776. In virtually every decade and century since the revolution, Boston has play- ed host to important events, was home to great people, and set an example for other cities to follow. Boston is truly one of the great cities of the world. — TM .
