Overview
When the French and Indian War ended in 1763, Salem longed for a time of tranquility.
However, that conflict left England deeply in debt and determined to reduce its obligations by taxing America. Salem’s citizens initially opposed Parliamentary taxes because they believed that the English were profiting from them. As Britain levied new taxes and pressed local officials to collect them, divisions erupted in town. In 1774, Salem became the capital of Massachusetts. By then, its citizens were taxed from abroad, governed by an English general, and tried before judges and juries appointed by royal officials. Join historian Richard J. Morris as he explores how the ensuing struggle for independence changed the town of Salem.
