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…”

Sure, dumping all the British tea in the harbor was illegal, but brilliant.
What happens if half of #UnitedStates refuses to file or pay #taxes on April 14, or ever?
Never mind.
It's the people who have their taxes deducted in advance at source and are waiting for a refund who will be hit worst.

Another #Anniversary today 😄
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.

There's a sign on the right that says "Smells like #TaxationWithoutRepresentation" referring to the #BostonTeaParty but with a drawing that shows protesters dumping #Tesla #CyberTruck into a harbor. #BostobTParty, indeed 😉

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

The story of #PhillisWheatley who was the first person of African descent in the American colonies to write and publish a book of poetry.
A shipment of her books was on the Dartmouth, that also carried tea that the Sons of Liberty would dump into Boston Harbor. As they were careful not to damage anything but the tea, Wheatley’s books were saved and eventually sold in the colonies.

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.
