Coincidently we chose to research the past of Boston.

Modern Day Boston

Old Boston

Boston

Boston was not only a very important place now. It has a fascinating past and has been through the thick and the thin.

Boston

There were many churches in Boston during the time of Alexis De Tocqueville.

This is a journal entry describing Boston: “But he admitted that the Unitarians had 13 churches (I think) in Boston.

Boston

During the 1830’s Boston was a very high class society. This is the journal entry Alexis

De Tocqueville wrote describing Boston: “What we have seen of the inhabitants up to this moment differs completely from what we saw at New-York. Society at least the society in which we have been introduced resembles

almost completely the upper classes in Europe. Luxury and refinements remain.”

Boston’s History

Back in 1830 Boston had a population of 60,000 people, and a less commercial society than in New York. Instead they were very upper class. They had many elegant houses and better music (According to Tocqueville). They had many churches, many religious people lived in Boston.

Boston’s Environment

Boston has a very lively environment and is often exciting. This causes Boston to be one of the most cultural and social cities in the world.

Influencers

The two people we chose that influence the Community is Rajon Rondo since for every steal he gets red bull donates $5.00 to a randomly selected charity.

Influencers

The second person we chose that influenced the community was Edgar Allan Poe. He was born in 1809 in Boston.

After he joined the US Army he went to writing and publishing mystery books. The reason why we chose him, was because he donates money to charity and gives away copies of his books to the greater community.

What Boston Has to Offer

Boston has many current and economical offers. For instance, Boston offers the sports nation multiple sports teams that are very talented and are entertaining to watch. Boston also is considered to be one of the top places to do business in.

Boston’s Future

. It has many major industries that include finance, food processing, commercial fishing, medicine, technology research and numerous more. If Boston keeps al of these major industries than it may become one of the largest standing and most popular economical centers in the world.

Major Events

The first major event that took place was the Boston Massacre that took place March 5, 1770, and led to the American Revolution

The second Event that changed Boston was the Boston Tea Party.

Proposal

Our proposal is cultural and we believe that Pittsburgh would be a better place to visit, if it had more historical sights, museums, and monuments. If Pittsburgh added these few changes it would have more cultural aspects, and tourist attractions.

The End

Hope that you enjoyed it!
