THE PORT OF BOSTON
After the Boston tea party the British decided to punish
Massachusetts by closing the Boston port. This meant the
people of Massachusetts could not ship in goods or food.
What would happen if all U.S. ports were closed off in the 21st
century?
If this were to happen to us in the 21st century, we believe our country would still be able to function and have healthy lives because. We believe this because in the 21st century, farmers use modern technology to mass produce crops and dairy products. Modern technology has changed the way we live today, and although if we could export and import goods, it would not cut off the basic necessities needed to survive. In the United States we could also rely on jobs from our natural resources such as fishing or hunting.
