In many ways, Massachusetts could be considered the birthplace of America. It was the site of the famous 'Boston Tea Party' where rebellious colonists expressed their displeasure with taxes by dumping valuable cargoes of British tea into Boston harbor. It was also the location of the famous 'shot heard 'round the world' – the opening salvo of the American Revolution at the battle of Lexington.
