Massachusetts
Welcome to Massachusetts, the state made famous for being one of the 13 original colonies, for being the birthplace of the American Revolution, and of course, for the wicked accents.
Located in the New England region, Massachusetts is a small state with a big personality. It is home to the famous Cape Cod, the beautiful Berkshires, and of course, the infamous Boston traffic.
The state was founded in 1620 when the Pilgrims arrived in Plymouth. They were seeking religious freedom and a fresh start. In later years, Massachusetts would become a leader in the fight for independence against Britain. But let’s face it, the most important part of Massachusetts’ history is the invention of Dunkin’ Donuts.
When it comes to culture, Massachusetts is a melting pot of Irish, Italian, and Portuguese heritage. Bostonians love their clam chowder, their Red Sox, and of course, their Patriots (despite recent controversies). You can often find locals using their wicked accents while ordering Dunkin’ iced coffee or heading to the packie (packie = liquor store).
Trivia
Did you know that the Boston Tea Party, one of the most significant events leading up to the American Revolution, didn’t actually take place in Boston Harbor? It took place in a different harbor three miles away.
Also, the state bird of Massachusetts is the black-capped chickadee. Yes, a bird with a wicked Boston accent.
In conclusion, Massachusetts may be small, but it is full of history, culture, and a lot of wickedly humorous moments. So come on down to Massachusetts, grab a Dunkin’ coffee, and enjoy all that the state has to offer. Just watch out for the wicked traffic.
