City Profile: Boston, MA To begin my essay, I would like to establish my argument for the city of Boston: I believe Boston has an excellent case for being ranked an Alpha - city; no more, no less. After doing extensive research, I have concluded that despite Boston’s relatively small size compared to other cities it is classified with, it deserves its spot as an Alpha - global city. For reference, some other notable cities it is classified with include Seoul, Buenos Aires, Washington, New Delhi

There is no denying that all American history classes mention Puritans. They took a significant role in not only British history, but also American history. Why were they mentioned so frequently?

The colonies of Jamestown, Plymouth, and Massachusetts Bay each were different by nature, goals, successes, and failures. There were numerous similarities as well as differences. However, each colony was looking for something better that was missing in their main land. Members of each colony had a vision of what they expected the New World to look like.
