Additional Information
Produced by prolific American cartographer and illustrator John Reid, this depiction of Massachusetts shows the state at a time of significant growth and prosperity. Boston had already been a pivotal meeting ground for the early Revolutionary thinkers and had itself been critical in the path to the American Revolution. Boston had been the scene for many of the most notable moments as Colonists pushed for independence and sovereignty, including the Boston Tea Party and the Battles of Lexington and Concord.
Following the Revolution, the state would find itself thriving with bustling ports in the Boston harbor and a significant agricultural economy in the western regions. Published by American cartographer and illustrator John Reid, the unique aesthetic of this map, while minimal, allows the viewer to gain a deeper understanding of the region at the close of the 18th century.
By the late 18th century, Massachusetts had become one of the leading manufacturing hubs in the fledgling nation, allowing for banking institutions to establish and creating even more significant development for the region. By 1796 Massachusetts had entered what is referred to as its Federalist Era, showing great support for the Federal Government and pushing for unification among the colonies leading up to the Revolution and advocating the ratification of the Constitution. One of the great Revolutionary thinkers, Bostonian John Adams, would become the second president in 1797 after serving as Vice President under George Washington. The importance of Massachusetts in the formation of the United States and the fight for independence cannot be underestimated.
