<p>Bren101: /* See also */</p> <hr /> <div>[[Image:Boston.jpg|thumb|Boston in a rainy day]]<br /> '''Boston''' is the largest city and capital of [[Massachusetts]], a state in the [[United States]]. It is the economic hub and educational center of the [[New England]] region.<br /> <br /> Boston was settled in 1630 by the [[United Kingdom|English]] [[Puritan]]s seeking freedom to practice their strict version of [[Protestantism]]. The city's fine harbor led it to become the main port of the New England colonies, and in the last quarter of the 18th century, it was a center of the movement for independence from England that led to the [[American Revolution]].<br /> <br /> Boston remained an economic center through the 19th century, both as a financial hub and as a port through which manufactured goods such as shoes and textiles were shipped. At the onset of the 20th century, the availability of cheaper labor in the Southern states led to a decline in New England manufacturing industries, and hard times for Boston as well. It continued however to be a center for advanced education, the city and its surrounding towns home to dozens of colleges and universities, allowing greater Boston to become a vital center of the technology industries that burgeoned in the last half of the 20th century.<br /> <br /> == See also ==<br /> [[Image:Fenway.jpg|thumb|Fenway Park, home of the Boston Red Sox.]]<br /> *[[Boston Red Sox]]<br /> *[new england Patriots]]<br /> *[[Boston Bruins]]<br /> *[[Boston Tea Party]]<br /> *[[Boston Massacre]]<br /> *[[Boston Massachusetts Temple]]<br /> <br /> == External links ==<br /> <br /> *[http://www.boston.com/news/globe/ The Boston Globe]<br /> *[http://www.bostonherald.com/news/ Boston Herald]<br /> <br /> [[Category:Massachusetts Cities and Towns]]<br /> [[Category:US State Capitals]]<br /> [[Category:Boston]]</div>
