The Tea Party And The Black Lives Matter Movement

American Tempest: How the Boston Tea Party Sparked A Revolution written by Harlow Giles Unger offers an in-depth analysis of the Boston Tea Party. Unger organizes the events in chronological order starting 30 years before the Boston Tea Party occurred. In the end he touches upon the aftermath of the journey towards self-government. The book presents many engaging details and provides the reader with more of a storytelling feel. He describes the colonists hard times and anger towards being taxed by British Parliament. Unger adds insights and conclusions about various topics and the people surrounding the rebellion, which was one of his goals in his writing. He wanted to tell of the untold Tea Party 's impact on American history politically, socially, and economically. The book was intended for the general public, because he wrote “ironically, few, if any Americans today… know the true and entire story of the Tea Party and the Patriots who staged it” (4).

The events that lead up to the war were the Boston Tea Party, Boston Massacre, and the Stamp Act. The Boston Tea Party was an event about Samuel Adams and the Sons of Liberty going on ships and dumping 342 chests of tea in the sea. They did that because they did not like the Tea Act and the taxes of the tea that the British made. I think that the since the people who didn’t like the taxes and Tea Act, they made the right decision dumping the tea. It was called the Boston Tea Party because of the tea dumping happening during that time. The group that dumped the tea disguised as Mohawk Indians in order to go do the tea dumping. I also think

The main tipping point of the American Revolution was the Boston Tea Party. After the tea was dumped into the Harbor, there was issues within the harbor, and because of the actions of the colonists, the Harbor is shut down for multiple weeks. Afterward, the British are irritated with the revolting of the colonists, eventually implementing the Intolerable Acts. As a result of these intolerable acts, this caused the formation of the First Continental Congress. Because of these actions of the colonists, and the effects after the Boston Tea Party, this is the reason why the Boston Tea Party is the main tipping point.

Imagine it is the 1960’s: conflict in Vietnam had sparked widespread protest at American college campuses, people all over the country were reading the The Feminine Mystique and fighting for increased equality among the sexes, and the Civil Rights Movement was at its peak. African Americans throughout America were uniting for the common cause of equality, however differing ideology and beliefs regarding how equality could be achieved divided them. Martin Luther King and Malcolm X rose as prominent leaders in the fight against racial inequality, the latter typically credited with the development of more violent methodology which excluded white involvement and conceived the movement of “Black Power.” The Black Panthers, members of a political party formed by college students Huey Newton and Bobby Seale in 1966, are typically associated with the idea of black power and the legacy of Malcolm X despite the fact that he had died a year prior to the party’s founding. While the idea of black power is easily and mis-conceivably associated with the idea of black supremacy and violence, The Black Panther Party primarily sought a spot for African Americans next to that of whites, not above. The Black Panther Party, despite its violent appearance and legacy, made a positive influence on American history through its platform based on equality, human rights, and patriotism.

The beginning of the Civil Rights Movement era corresponds with the time that Harper Lee was writing about Scout Finch and her brother Jem. They live in the very state that events like the Montgomery Bus boycott would take place. The fictional town of Maycomb is in Alabama, the same state where Martin Luther King Jr. would rise to be the voice of African Americans aching for equality. The actual movement may have started in 1960 but that is the same year that To Kill a Mockingbird was published and huge events were rupturing the south, throughout the novel readers can see the attitude of a want and need for equality in characters and some events.

The Boston Tea Party was an act of protest by the colonists. They were searching for freedom when they came to the New World. When they dumped the tea, they showed that they no longer wanted to be under British rule. This was a turning point that led our country toward becoming

Social movements are vital to the establishment of our societies, and they way we are governed. Social movements help the less privileged band together to create a stronger voice among a sea of political correctness and unlawfully rule that the public supposedly have to abide by without question. Movements create this new form of platform that, if done successfully, are able to create a worldwide frenzy where people from across all walks of life, including politicians, academics, the less fortunate, the homeless, doctors, etc, are able to come together to create change, or to start to create change on a matter that is close to their hearts. One of these matters that has come up in recent years that has been an ongoing battle for centuries upon centuries is Black Lives Matter (Although named various things throughout time such as black civil rights). Black Lives Matter is a movement that started back in 2012 after George Zimmerman was acquitted for his crime against a 17 year old boy named Trayvon Martin, and Trayvon was then put on trial for his own murder (Garza, A. 2014, p. 1.). This crime was just the tipping point for three women who wanted to see a change in the way black lives were/are treated. Black Lives Matter is one of the most important socio-political movements of our time, and this is why it is an important movement to connect with and understand. Throughout, I will be going through the strategies and the tactics Black Lives Matter advocates and cofounders have

From the end of salutary neglect to the start of the American Revolution, the British and the North American colonies’ relationship began deteriorating. Salutary neglect allowed the colonies to prosper but created a deficit for the British Empire. When the English could not sustain the losses from the colonies anymore, they attempted to reinforce their previous acts with more legislation. These created tension between the colonies and the mother country that was catalyzed by other acts such as the Stamp Act and events such as the Boston Massacre and the Boston Tea Party.

There is no single agenda of the Tea Party. This allows each autonomous group to set its own priorities. Tea Party organizers view this as strength, because this aids against corruption from within and co-opting by outside entities. The Tea Party’s

The Boston Massacre was the 1770, pre-Revolutionary incident that was caused by the anger against the British troops sent to Boston to maintain order and to enforce the Townshend Acts. The troops that were constantly bothered by individuals finally fired into a rioting crowd and killed five men on March 5, 1770. Three were killed on the spot, and two were wounded. The funeral of the individuals who were killed caused an occasion for a patriot demonstration. The British captain, Thomas Preston, and his men were tried for murder, with Robert Treat Paine as prosecutor, and John Adams and Josiah Quincy as lawyers for the defense. Preston and six of his men were acquitted. Two others were found guilty of manslaughter, were punished, and were discharged from the army

The Boston Tea Party was a protest of Massachusetts colonists that were masked or disguised as Mohawks in 1733. The Boston Tea Party was led by Samuel Adams who was against the Tea Act and was also against taxing. The Tea Act was passed by the British Parliament, it was actually the duty to export tea overboard. The British Parliament didn’t like how they tipped 342 crates of tea into the Boston harbor and that’s what happened in the Boston Tea

The Civil Rights movement is one of the most important acts to change the way not only African Americans were able to live their lives but all races and colors. It would slowly break down the social, economic, political, and racial barriers that were created by the The Age of Discovery and Transatlantic Slave trade. I believe without the Civil Rights acts our country would result to be no better than what it was when the Emancipation Proclamation just took effect. In the 1950s and long before, Southern folk, who were white had created a system that would interpret them as a superior race over blacks. The system would defend whites rights and privileges from being taken away from them while establishing terrible inhumane suffering for African Americans. In the South blacks were controlled in all aspects economic, political, and personal, this was called a “tripartite system of domination” - (Aldon D. Morris) (6) Though it isn’t as prevalent racism and discrimination towards other races that aren’t white is still found in America and can be in schools, the workplace, even when you are in the general public but you no longer see discriminating signs saying “Whites” or “Blacks” or Colored” along the front of bathroom, restaurants, and shopping malls doors. Nor do you see people being declined the right to buy a home based on their color or access to school and an equal education being declined because one didn’t meet racial requirements. The acts of violence towards

What comes to mind when you think of the Black Panther Party? Do you even know who the Black Panthers really were? They helped transform the lives of many African Americans in the U.S and helped empower the community. The Black Panther has a huge background of history, goals, and beliefs. Huey P. Newton and Bobby Seale from Oakland, California founded the Panthers in 1966. Initially, they were an African American self defense force and were highly influenced by Malcolm X’s beliefs. The Panthers had many goals such as;freedom, protecting blacks from police brutality, and helping African Americans obtain a jobs. Despite the negative stereotypes of the Black Panthers as people who ran around with guns, fighting police, they were a major group during the Civil Rights Movement because they practiced self defense, established revolutionary socialism, and stimulated Malcolm X's influence. In the following I will discuss the successful changes the Black Panther Party, had on the African American community during the civil rights movement.

Due to the weak state our of economy over the past several years, many organizations and movements have surfaced in order to attempt to make a change to better our country. One of those organizations is the Tea Party and their movement. The Tea Party movement is an effective political force in our society because it is respectable, organized, and focused on common issues.

Of the many causes of the revolutionary war, Seven Years War, Boston Tea Party, and the Olive Branch Petition were the most important. The seven years which was also known as the French and Indian war, began in 1756 when the fighting between the French and colonists joined into a European conflict involving France, Austria, and Russia against Prussia and Britain. The war left with great Britain having territory from North America, but they had a disagreement over a policy and paying the of a war that was led to a colonial discontent, and also to the American revolution. The Boston tea party was an important event for the revolutionary war which made the colonists started the violence in the revolutionary war. For the colonist, it was there the first time to try violence against their own government which led to war by acts which were a series of laws passed by the British in 1770. The British initiated acts after the Boston tea party which caused more anger and leading more to the start of the American revolution in 1775. Now with The Olive Branch, John Dickinson drafted the olive branch petition, which was adopted by the second continental congress on July 5 and submitted to King George on July 8, 1775. It was an attempt to declare the rights of the colonists while maintaining their loyalty to the British crown. The war, it started on July 5, 1775, it was by a letter that was sent by the Second continental congress to King George, which was something showing that it would
