Massachusetts in the 1700s was a colony whose livelihood depended on the Atlantic, and the Cape Cod towns on its southeastern arm lived largely by the sea. Cod fishing, salt making from evaporated seawater, and coastal trade in lumber, fish and salt linked small harbors such as Barnstable and Yarmouth to Boston and to ports in the West Indies. Boston, the colony's largest town, was a center of shipbuilding, merchant shipping and rum distilling, and its population grew through the century. By the 1760s, disputes with Britain over taxes and trade were rising, and within a decade the colony was at the center of the Revolutionary War, which began with fighting at Lexington and Concord in April 1775.
