Daniella Lam · Answer 1

At the time of the nation’s independence the total population in the U. S. was 2.5 million. Philadelphia was the largest city with 40,000 residents - which would only fill about half the capacity at Lincoln Financial Field where its football team plays home games today. The Quaker-populated city back then was very peaceful and civil, very unlike the Eagle fans of today.

Boston, New York ... Charles Town [Charleston]-and none had more than 40,000 people in 1775.
