The last thing people from new england need is a tourist attraction that makes them think they’re special.

It is special. Massachusetts was ground zero of the American Revolution, which the Freedom Trail highlights, and as K-Mac noted dissenter Protestantism was the dominant cultural wellspring of the US all the way into the 1950s. This can be summed up in one word: Puritanism.

They’re awful.

We can probably be thankful the micks continued the legacy more or less intact.

Not a lot of papists at Bunker Hill. Except maybe in redcoats. No sir.

"The Freedom Trail is a 2.5-mile-long (4.0 km) path[1] through Boston that passes by 16 locations significant to the history of the United States."
