Where were the British troops concentrated before 1775?

Before 1775, British troops were primarily concentrated in major cities and strategic locations throughout the American colonies, particularly in Boston, New York, and Charleston. Boston was a focal point due to escalating tensions with colonial activists and the presence of significant unrest, leading to increased military presence there. Additionally, British forces were stationed in key ports and areas where they could easily quell potential uprisings and maintain control over trade routes.
