Milestone Monday

A Brewed Rebellion

On this day, December 16, 1773, the Boston Tea Party took place, a significant event in American history. It was a political protest by the American colonists against British taxation without representation. The Tea Act of 1773 allowed the British East India Company to sell tea directly to the colonies. This undercutting of local merchants and enforcing a tax on tea was the catalyst for this protest.

On the night of the incident, a group of colonists, known as the Sons of Liberty, dressed as Mohawk Indians to conceal their identities and boarded three British ships anchored in Boston Harbor. They threw 342 chests of tea, worth around the equivalent of one million dollars today, overboard into the harbor.

Samuel Adams primarily led the Boston Tea Party, which was organized by John Hancock. However, the identities of many of the participants remain a mystery. Notably, Francis Akeley is the only individual known to have been arrested and imprisoned for his role in the event. 

The images come from:

Dorothy Q: Together with A Ballad of the Boston Tea Party & Grandmother's Story of Bunker Hill Battle by Oliver Wendell Holmes with illustrations by Howard Pyle, published in Boston by  Houghton, Mifflin and Company in 1893.

Boston Tea Party: The Independence Era’s Biggest Slay 💅🔥

OKAY OMGGG I AM SOO FASCINATED TODAY LIKE YOU CAN SAY I'M ON CLOUD 9. THIS IS GONNA SOUND CRAZY BUT I'M THE HAPPIEST PERSON EXISTING RIGHT NOW.

WARNING: don't be weirded throughout the reading. like you have no choice so (lmao) So my first semester ended, and I tried to catch up on some historic incidents that I longed to read but couldn't due to assignments, tests, etc. So, I decided to research the American War of Independence (don't ask me why). Context: The American War of Independence occurred between 1775 - 1783, when the British captured US, and formed 13 colonies (the first one to be Virginia and the last one to be Georgia). Now its capturing had various purposes such as trade, and because the US had religious freedom. The post is not about the war ENTIRELY but about one of its really sassy, girly pop events caused by no other than Samuel Adams.

The British introduced this taxation policy called TEA ACT 1773. It was basically Britishers taxing on several daily consumed items such as glass, lead, oil, paint, and paper, in which TEA was one of the main concerns. This dissatisfied the Americans and hence, a protest was held to abolish such conduct. Samuel Adams was known as the founding father of the US and played a huge role in ending this exploit. HIM, along with his army, dumped the British East India Company's tea of around 300 chests which is 92,000 INTO the Boston Harbour. LIKE NOT SAMUEL BEING SUCH A SASSY GIRLY POP CUNTY LMAO. I LOVE HIM Then the British introduced another reform in response called the Intolerable Act... BUT OMG SAMUEL UR SO AWESOME SAUCE LIKE- Another event I like about the war the British and French had known as the Seven Year War between 1754 - 1763, which happened in between the war of independence. This war created a huge ruckus for both countries, leading to a downfall in the social, economic and political circumstances. Now we all know how the French are lmao. To take their revenge, they stood with the Americans to help them overcome and fight against the British. NOT JUST THE FRENCH, BUT SPAIN ALSO TOOK THE USA'S SIDE AND THESE THREE ALLIANCES FOUGHT TOGETHER TO END THIS CAPTURE. This battle was known as the Treaty of Paris, which freed countries such as the US, Canada, etc. from colonisation. THIS MOMENT HAD ME GAGGED AND LIVING FOR THE DRAMA OF HISTORY’S DEPTHS (AND YES, I WAS A HISTORY STUDENT IN HIGH SCHOOL, SO THIS ISN’T MY FIRST RODEO), BUT BABE, THIS WAR? ABSOLUTELY SERVING CUNT!
