A groundbreaking history of early America that shows how Boston
built and sustained an independent city-state in New England before
being folded into the United States In the vaunted annals of
America's founding, Boston has long been held up as an exemplary
"city upon a hill" and the "cradle of liberty" for an independent
United States. Wresting this revered metropolis from these
misleading, tired cliches, The City-State of Boston highlights
Boston's overlooked past as an autonomous city-state, and in doing
so, offers a pathbreaking and brilliant new history of early
America. Following Boston's development over three centuries, Mark
Peterson discusses how this self-governing Atlantic trading center
began as a refuge from Britain's Stuart monarchs and how-through
its bargain with the slave trade and ratification of the
Constitution-it would tragically lose integrity and autonomy as it
became incorporated into the greater United States. The City-State
of Boston peels away layers of myth to offer a startlingly fresh
understanding of this iconic urban center.
