why did the war start with massachusetts?

Answer 1

I am assuming you are talking about the Revolutionary War? MA was the state that was showing the greatest independence movement, it was the state that was in competition with Britain the most over manufactured goods, and there were some specific early outbreaks of violence there, like the Boston Massacre (even though it didn't kill that many people, it did have its political effect). I think also that part of the reason was because Boston was one of the largest ports and the largest major port that was closest to England. It was the easiest for the British to bring troops to.

Answer 2

No one has hit the answer yet. Here it is:

1. Massachusetts had from its inception advocated education and erudition for its citizens. It is not a coincidence that Harvard, Boston University, University of Massachusetts are all in Massachusetts since they promoted education and enlightenment.
2. Well educated people are often the first to demand societal change and reform. The lazy dullards who are unaware of the world around seldom request a better life.
3. The intellectuals of the Colonies often met in Boston to discuss the dissemination of information through the Committees of Correspondence (Samuel Adams network of information spreading organizations, headquartered in Boston.)
4. It is no surprise that the intellectuals who had read Montesquieu, Locke, Voltaire, Hobbs, and Rousseau were the ones to foment a rebellion against mother England.
