The days of your when the hottest items I ever ever wanted was an american girl doll deliver. How am I going out all my friends like about how they love the moment growing? They were the best and I ass. It was just you now fate that I turn out to be sort of a history. Bath begins to these. Dolls are all steeped in three american history and the one I love the most was felicity, because she was a rat had like me, and the premise behind felicity was that she wise colonists, and her parents were patriots, and there was a time that came, and felicity was learning how to be a young woman with manners had to start refusing t because her parents again, Tina family that it was unpatriotic to drink tea- that's religiously motivated, me because I, like t alive, I now it's free here, United off as re one eye, yeah gulf it down and it wasn't it you know, without Reimer reason, done, had refused to theirs actually historical basis for that yeah and it all started basically back and corn.

Lisbon, american winners, sobbing robotic Britain the I basically Britain had left stuck alone for a long time like they do your own thing, sort of thing and soon die. The parliament started instituting taxes on the colonists inserting enforcing it situated colonies were used to in their like. This doesn't make sense anymore. You treating us like below citizen and to reinforce the stand back, we're back seventeen sixty five and this. This foolish thing ass people what kind of thing only had to do with likes the aims like Mailing SAM, so it actually lots of things it had to be stamped at this time because of the tax like newspapers and playing cards even had descended the taxpayer to pay something for this for the stamp nor died to pay the taxes to Britain, and so this was seen a sort of an oppressive act in so I The colonists rejected it and Britain came back as I gotta you can't. You can't take internal taxes, that's fine organic

I can do and organ attacks the stuff you into what's called duties. Things that were taken in imports to the to the colonies and things their bad around the time of the stand back, that the people who are actually in charge of overseeing the stamping resigned and yet their hosts yo such a bigger scandal. But you know you, we all heard the expression, no taxation without representation. You certainly did miss that in history class, but you may not why this was such a big deal and so before we until their teeth the situation, I have an analogy for you sort of like when you're off a collar you're doing your own thing. You are in charge of yourself. You know you may not be paying the bells. Your parents may be helping out a little bit better. Your ruling various you start your schedule, you gotta class, you feed yourself and then Christmas break strikes and you come home and your back under your mom and dad roof and

son. You know curfew is back on and they want to tell you what you're gonna be eating for dinner. They want to tell you how to spend your time. Will you know what you know where you're going back like you, and this is probably how the colonists sort of fell? The irish parliament essentially levying all these rules and policies against them and a fake enough noise problem on back off it either amend the policies or they repeal them entirely, and so the colonists learned that this would work. Make enough noise. Fry as protest just enough and parliament's gonna stop and The thing is people over in England who were under the monarchies, rule yeah british okay, for parliament to make the rules for them because they had representatives bites colonies. There was no one is in a sense when they started rallying no taxation without representation, they didn't they vote for anybody represent them in parliament, so they thought. Why do you have the right to tax, as we know have a say in it, and parliament argued that colonies did have. Representation is something they called virtual.

Sensation that every single in in in the government, represented all the colonies, but that didn't sit well with the column. Not at all So you mentioned that things that were imported into the colony the high taxes attached to them and one of these items with tee and You ve gotta, understand how popular t wise essentially was the only thing. You know that, while I wasn't the only thing that people drink these areas, it is hard to imagine you nor coffee, upsets culture, but I guess if you will replace it with coffee, we think of it. All of a sudden there was a monopoly on coffee or or always, and coffee was taxed of the war zoo like we wouldn't, we would get really upset because a lot of caffeine attics would be upset exactly, and I think that the colonies are consuming about. One point: two million pounds, pounds white wise, not many wise per year, that is a ton of tea, and if you drink

I feel like you're saying Jane. You ve got a couple different purveyors that you can choose fry me in a year ago. Generic you can go high, classing Imelda, Red Grassy, serbian whatever, but for the colonists. It was only the t coming from the British EAST India accompanying here not upset a lot of people like especially merchants who had contracts with with other providers in the and they had only deal with with English tee and there a little upset about that as well. So the idea, behind these different laws regarding the taxes on tease were that parliament have levy popularity of tea and the limited supply of tee to raise money for the french Senate in war or city and again the colonists from out about this, because they felt they had no say and these wars there was writing to fund a worthy weren't, fully participating. In that my gets interesting, I mean, I guess you could say. England had somewhat of a good case in saying that you know this French in Indian WAR went on in the colonies were protecting. You were checking your lives from from the french

in the indian forces- and we want to pay for not only did the desert. We encourage during that war, but first standing army to protect it, but at the same time I mean. Obviously, England was an exit acting exactly selflessly like they had stake in their american these. They add value to them. So it's not just that they were acting here to protect the colonists right out of all the colonies. I think Boston was really one of the hot seat: Russia, Georgia, here yeah sort of protesting, sentiment, sure sweeping through the colonies. In one reasons was that there were soldiers station. They are starting around October, seventeen sixty gay and you have to imagine you know, there's unwrast people are talking, people are dissatisfied and then these soldiers a man and not only by the colonies, were asked to actually quarter them in their home. I can even imagine what, though it was like the quartering idea of of british. Where's showed a soldier's coming in and saying we

who you we're. Not gonna pay you back, but you have to get me a place to stay, and you know you deal with it by the people of EAST Timor, to do that array, and so they fought back me. So as far as the question of tea goes, they did make a lot of noise, get the laws repealed thing, and that worked a couple times. We had the seventeen sixty nine Indemnity ACT which repeal the tea tax, but then the Taos Knacks restored it and the nose killed in seventeen. Seventy three, in seventeen. Seventy three. We have the t argue that comes along so lowers the price of t, because the British is company can ring the tea directly to the colonies, but there still attacks on access to ruin their sort of things. Going on here, one is the fact that EAST India Company could provide the teaser. There was a monopoly, they were enforcing on the colonies and also, even though there was that Something happened was that it was sort of a kite on the tax authorities that they could get tee a little with cheaper than the usually could so wasn't just about money. It was about the principle, whereas wealth monopoly right

as for the matter, and so on November. Twenty seventh, seventeen, seventy three there's this notice that goes up in Boston and essentially its informing the citizens that the quarter quote detested tee is on its way from a ship called the dark. And so some people from Boston Gather and the old meeting house. The old South meeting house excuse me, and they said talking about what they can do about this to energy different solutions that they float couple different ideas and ultimately sorts of meetings go on for months and months and months and this time the royal british Governor Thomas Hutchinson he's getting wind that the colonists and the patriots in that particular planing something, and so he tells his troops. Forced to keep the ships in the harbor, but he's one of the tactics that the colonists a tried was asking. If the ship's captains would just sail away just leave, this sort of a stand? So we shall also know that the ships

wanted to unload their tea, but the colonists particularly want them to do that, because then they would have to pay the duty. One is currently the law as it, was unloaded. Somebody had to pay the duties on it right. That's really signal No, not just keeping the ship's, you know in the harbor, but keeping a tea on board the ship so overtime. These meetings started about five thousand different people, and that's a really big number considering Population would only around fifteen. Sandy out. Eventually they get enough people clamouring, especially by virtue of the sons of liberty who were pretty active group of protesters and patriots. Lady, madam, you then add the power of your John Hancock that they decide. They can do something about this and round this time, there's two more ships that come in the Elinor and the Beaver, so they're down a gryffons war footing, where the old South Meeting house at a meeting for months had been discussing an finally out of nowhere. Well, maybe not out of nowhere. Sort of unexpected

someone that's out sort of our about cry in us, moreover, guttural noise, I think, than anything else and at riles the people In the end, they turn into a mob and they storm down to the wharf and they spend three hours there. Two hundred sixteen of them dumping t into the harbor young men of doping, ninety thousand pounds. I think it was yeah by today's dollars. That's about one million dollars worth of tea or eighteen point five million cops Water is Brown free day. I meant that it was sort of add it gets a poem. More is, as far as you can use violence. Now I think that there is some kicking and screaming and the colonists who actually tried to filch some tea and taken for themselves favour repair expire and kicking punching heading. That sort of thing which shows a testament to the principle. The matter like the writers had some pride in the principle of the thing right. They are making a statement.

Completely against the british government and wasn't about each other and only one man out of that one hundred sixteen people was arrested, and so at this point you know on a sort of how to re, evaluate will what happens next? the day after this, which would have been December. Seventeen seventeen seventy three- they went back, they observe However, there is still some tea floating around that eight. They beat it with their oars and you know made it go underwater and had all been destroyed by the british government didn't get word of the tea party of his car. Until January seventeenth. Obviously, it took some time for the news to get over there within ships. There wasn't planes back then So when the message finally got there, they were less than pleased to say the least.

The day and acted a few different things to punish, as as punishment to boss. In particular, one was on the port of Boston was closed and they say you you can't reopen until the EAST, India, companies reimbursed or all the tea that you are destroyed, And other things were like the quartering act was reinstated. Idea of making british troops that they can stay in the in the houses of of cod at the time and another one was that a british officials who were accused of major crimes couldn't be tried in India. The colonies of England was obviously suspicious of that at this point, so that you have to ship them back to bed before you try them and and finally, there are restrictions on town meetings in Massachusetts, in particular in me, were obviously afraid of more rousing going on there, and so a lot of people have the misconception that the Boston Tea Party was the direct

link to the american revelation Jacobi I do you can use your class, of course, and that's not trivial rake, as we know that again, the concept of make noise get a repeal, the sort of went on for a little while, but then finally- because there's about ten months after the tea party occurred eyes, some citizens got together and this is where the declaration of independence began to be drafted, and people really started. Think about having an organized Alan against England, not just the citizens about, are not just Massachusetts, but all economies he'd been feeling this way for awhile and you could make the case even other colonists, Europe, independence. Eventually we looked at the Boston Tea Party as like rabbits browsers as a nuisance sort of an uncanny, for more than some people considered it's interesting, though it back on end and see now now. What goes on in history is as this myth of our creation of our of the United States at least, and I love it. Boston, tea party, I'm not quite sure how that came to be, but we know that one of the cry that was uttered during

Italian was. You know, let's, let's make a teapot of the harbour and if they did- and I just think it really speak to the american Spirit that these people were invented and they were shorter ingenious and what they did because in the end, like you said you know, they owed some money to the British. You Sidney accompanying there weren't lifeless sooner. Running good patriotic for peaceful protesters. Someone you yeah mobs are funny like that, You learn more about mom.
