Massachusetts in 1755 was a royal province of British America, and Boston, its largest town, held roughly fifteen thousand people and served as the commercial center of New England. Harbor trade drove the economy, as merchants shipped fish, lumber, and rum to the West Indies and Britain, while coastal shipyards built vessels for those same routes. The colony was also drawn into the French and Indian War, which had begun in 1754, and provincial companies were raised to fight the French and their Native allies. Harvard College in Cambridge, more than a century old, trained many of the region's ministers and lawyers, and church life and town meetings shaped civic affairs in the countryside.
