The Cradle of American Civilization[edit]

Hi Adam - Adam here, too.

You may find it hard to believe, but Kingston, Massachusetts is indeed the "Cradle of American Civilization."

Kingston, as you know, was originally part of Plymouth when "Plymouth" stretched from what is now Bourne, Massachusetts in the south, all the way north into Scituate, Massachusetts. The towns of Marshfield, Duxbury (where the colonists hunted for "ducks") and Kingston along the coast were all parts of Plymouth.

In 1726 modern-day Kingston broke away from Plymouth due to a tax dispute This brave act inspired many colonists in their zeal to gain independence from the British Crown.

The "Cradle of American Civilization" label comes from Kingston's unparalleled contributions to the Revolutionary War.

Here are just a few of those contributions:

It's hard to picture Kingston today as having been anything more than a sleepy coastal bedroom community for Boston. Kingston's history is far richer than one may imagine. In its day, Kingston's star shone brightly across the entire Western world. --AStanhope 00:51, 21 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

A tag has been placed on Play Attention, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be blatant advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the general criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 11, as well as the guidelines on spam.

If you can indicate why the subject of this article is not blatant advertising, you may contest the tagging. To do this, please add {{hangon}} on the top of the page and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would help make it encyclopedic, as well as adding any citations from reliable sources to ensure that the article will be verifiable. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Corvus cornix 17:01, 3 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
