How Did Location Affect Boston Town

1.) During the first American Revolution the American population especially in the cities grew to new heights. Many of those cities grew to the those sizes because of their the location near ports, the changes in transportation methods and immigrants looking for jobs in the factories. The most notable of all the cities in America,was the city of New York. With the city's location on the Atlantic ocean helped the city directly to trade with foreign nations. New York city was first affected by the development of canals that were being built.The Erie canal that connected to the Hudson river and down to New York city, helped connect the middle of the country to New England through that one port.
