French Canadian immigrants were settling in the region and finding employment in the many manufacturing plants. These communities established neighborhoods along distinct cultural lines, many of which exist to this day. New Hampshire’s famous state motto of “Live Free or Die” has roots in the American Revolution and is indicative of the state’s independent spirit. Some of the first shots leading up to the revolution occurred in New Hampshire at the battle of Fort William and Mary, some five months before the historic battle of Lexington and Concord.
In the years following the American Civil War, New Hampshire enjoyed an economic surge along with the rest of the nation during the so-called Gilded Age of the 1890s.
