Which town was the center of US revolution fever?

Question

Trying to fill out my study guide for final>>>> Cannot find this anywhere.....Help me Please:)

Answer 1

Boston has always taken crdit for being the cradle of the Revolution - - - whereas the peaceful Quakers of Philledelphia spoke of Compromise and Arbitration the Bostonians vented their frustration with acts of terrorism & writings of a seditious nature. Boston nurtured the Revolution which was given birth in Philladelphia because Quakers valued their pocketbooks and were certain that Britain was mismanaging the colonies.

Yes Charlestown was the Southern Spark, while Virginia produced an agitator in the form of Patrick Henry and a writer named Thomas Jefferson, it was Boston that produced the greatest number of founding fathers......

Peace...............

Answer 2

To many Boston seems the obvious choice with the Sons of Liberty. The Boston Massacre as it was called in 1770 followed by the "Tea Party" of December 17, 1773. But Boston was far from being alone in being a breeding for British Discontent.

First you have Philadelphia where the Continental Congress was organizing to provide automonous goverment for the American Colonies.

New York had it's share of malcontents as well as Charleston. But we seem to forget that Williamsburg Virginia to was a heavy hotbed of activity. Remember you had Patrick Henry speaking Give Me Liberty where he could, George Mason, Thomas Jefferson and George Washington all sitting in the House of Burgesses.

In my opinion there was not one center of Revolution Fever but several and they would eventually come to Philadelphia and turn that wide fever into something that would change the world.

Answer 3

It was clearly Boston. New England is where it all began.
Look up Sam Adams (as I will do to prove my point).
Boston was the site of the "massacre" in 1770 (5 men killed).
It was the site of the "Boston Tea Party" in 1773
The first battles of the revolution were fought there a year before the declaration of independence.
I believe Philadelphia was chosen as a meeting place due to travel distance considerations for the delegates to the assemblies.

Answer 4

Since you have not provided any dates to this question:

The Berkeley Free Speech Movement, Berkeley, CA -1964

The Black Panther Party, Oakland, CA - 1966

The Youth International Party, Chicago, IL - 1968

There many towns in the mid to late 1960s that served as centers for revolutionary fever. See the FSM, the Black Panthers, and the Yippies.

Answer 5

Charleston South Carolina.

Answer 6

Philadelphia? -- that's where the debates on the Declaration of Independence occurred. (It was also hot during the time, so "fever") this is just a guess. I have never heard the phrase "US Revolution fever."

Answer 7

Freesia:

Probably Philly, Boston & New York!
