Dalla protesta alla Rivoluzione: Cosa spinse davvero le Colonie a ribellarsi
Il 16 dicembre 1773, il porto di Boston è avvolto da un freddo pungente e da un silenzio carico di tensione. Sotto la luce incerta delle lanterne, un gruppo di circa cinquanta uomini, con i volti anneriti dal carbone o sommariamente camuffati da nativi Mohawk, si muove con precisione quasi militare verso tre navi mercantili della Compagnia delle Indie Orientali. In tre ore di lavoro febbrile, aprono con le asce oltre 340 casse di tè e ne rovesciano il contenuto nelle acque gelide della […]https://www.psicospace.it/cause-rivoluzione-americana-cosa-spinse-le-colonie-a-ribellarsi/

🤔 Y’know, it kinda seems t’me like all the suddenly gerrymandering folks are maybe forgetting something very important… Something truly American:
“The firm belief that the government should not tax a populace unless that populace is represented in some manner in the government…”

The #BostonTeaParty | December 16, 1773
In #BostonHarbor , a group of #Massachusetts colonists disguised as #MohawkIndians board three tea ships and dump 342 chests of tea into the harbor.
… was in protest of the #British Parliament’s #TeaAct of 1773, a bill designed to save the faltering #EastIndiaCompany by greatly lowering its tea tax and granting it a virtual monopoly on the American tea trade.

TRUMP’S ILLEGAL USE OF FUNDS IS SAME AS FOUNDING PRINCIPLE THAT SPARKED THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION AND BOSTON TEA PARTY. NO TAXATION WITHOUT REPRESENTATION -
On December 16, 1773, the Sons of Liberty boarded three ships in Boston Harbor and threw the cargo of tea overboard. This act of defiance was a response to the British government’s decision to tax the colonies without giving them representation in Parliament.

Mistodon: AdeptApril's #ANSIart screen today commemorates that on this date 251 years ago, the #BostonTeaParty in Massachusetts took place, ushering along the American Revolutionary War of Independence. One lump or two?

Can I recommend an important deleted view of #collonial #history ? This #book (or its factual contents) should be mandatory curriculum in all western schools. The second image is a podcast which nicely ties in the 3rd episode the #BostonTeaParty and the #American #Revolution to its real cause- fear of unrestrained colonial capitalism!

Awesome #essay about the connections between the #bostonteaparty and Bengal. The "world" history classes I took didn't teach this kind of thing, which is a shame. #BostonTeaPartyAnniversary

Why I’m remembering the Boston Tea Party, 250 years later :
I feel taking a moment to celebrate days like today is so important. It would be amazing if my students developed as deep of a love of American history and government as I have.

Reminder: despite how everyone loves to frame it as a revolt about increased #taxes, the December 16 1773 #BostonTeaParty was primarily a protest against the #monopoly power of one of the biggest corporations in history (East India Company), including fear of becoming the megacorp's next conquest.
If you don't know, now you know.
