The Tea Party

These grassroots use their persuasiveness by appealing to one's common sense and sense of morality to do the right thing. Grassroot organizations can also use their large number of members to influence the economy, a boycott for example. If even people boycott a business or service, that business or service may in fact run out of business. Martin Luther King Jr knew this and rallied enough people to change the bus lines. Some things are more important than money, and most of Congress realized that. The environment, for instance, is something that can never be replaced if pollution and other harmful events aren't kept under control. Exxon and other oil companies and polluted the oceans and killed a lot of wildlife over the years, but has suffered only minor losses finaicially due to corrupt politicians. The people are getting paid off the just sweep it under the rug and act like it never happened. Grassroots organizations have pros and cons, but the best thing about them is the community support that gives them the sheer number of people to make a difference and bring forth actual laws and reguations that

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.

In 1771, group of colonist protested many years of increasing British oppression, by making an attack on merchant ships that were being brought in at Boston Harbor. Due to this, the British then close down the ports, bringing even harsher penalties on the colonies. This famous act of American colonial resistance was to protest taxation without representation that the British were enforcing. British Parliament imported goods with the passage of the Tea Act, many of the colonies denied tea shipments, but the merchants in Boston refused to acknowledge this Patriot revelry. On December 16, 1773, the Sons of Liberty and Samuel Adams; who was a leader

Proclamation of 1763- Forbade all American settlement West of the Appalachian Mountains to appease the Natives. The Proclamation was offensive to the Colonists because the Colonists thought they deserved the land after fighting with the British in the Seven Years War. Colonists rebelled against this and settled on the land anyways . The Proclamation was significant because it was one of the first times that Americans were being restricted by the Crown.

The Boston Tea party helped repeal tax on tea and made a stand on the British. But was it necessary? When thinking of the Boston Tea party, tea being dumped into a river or an ocean comes to mind. But there is so much more than that. The questions that should come to mind are; was it necessary, who and how it was organized, what effects did it have on the British East India Company and on the United States.

The Boston Tea Party was a political protest by the Sons of Liberty in Boston, Massachusetts, on December 16, 1773. The Tea Act of May 10, 1773, the demonstrators, some disguised as Native Americans, destroyed an entire shipment of tea sent by the East India Company. They boarded the ships and threw the chests of tea into Boston Harbor. The British government responded harshly and the episode escalated into the American Revolution. The Tea Party became an iconic event of American history, and since then other political protests such as the Tea Party movement have referred to themselves as historical successors to the Boston protest of 1773.

In my experience with this group, I have seen certain stereotypical aspects other people see. Around 2012, I got into politics and was really following the presidential race at the time. It was that year that Ron Paul was running and I could relate to all his political views. Although he eventually dropped out of the race, it was clear that there was a rise in the libertarian movement and I followed as well. Recently more politicians have joined the movement. Rand Paul, son of Former Texas Congressman Ron Paul, is a Senator from Kentucky and joined the 2016 presidential race. Former Governor of New Mexico Gary Johnson and Michigan Congressman Justin Amash are few other notable libertarians.Though the movement was growing, it rarely ever entered the media. On the occasion, you would have voices like Bernie Goldberg and John Stossel able to spread the

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 platform planks of the Tea Party and the ideals of the men who drove the American Revolution are very similar, though there are some key differences. Some of the issues the Tea Party concerns itself with, including traditional marriage and immigration, weren’t issues in revolutionary times so they aren’t part of the set of ideals explicitly laid out in documents such as the Declaration of Independence or the original Constitution. However, some of these may be implied by societal expectations of the times—it was unheard of for homosexual individuals to be open about their orientation and new immigrant groups were often not accepted by current residences of communities and industries. Also, some of the most important issues for revolutionaries,

The movement and specifically the event I would have liked to take part, is what some have labeled “The Original American Protest.” The event I speak of, being the Boston Tea Party, and the movement itself was the start on the American Revolution. The American Revolution may be the most significant yet, overlooked movement in history. One reason I would have wanted to be present at the Tea Party, was because it was one of the first calculated protest against Great Britain, by the American people. By throwing the tea into the harbor the American people stated they were not going to accept the British taxing items they needed to import. Furthermore, it told the British they were not going to surrender to the British’s reign any longer. This
