The Boston Tea Party was a very intense event between the British and the Colonists. According to History.com Samuel Adams and the sons of Liberty boarded three ships in the Boston Harbor and threw 342 chests of tea over overboard. The first ship that arrived was the Dartmouth and right after the first ship reached Boston the other two arrived quickly after. It took the

The colonists dumped tea worth roughly $1,000,000 today. Since the British were already in great debt from the French and Indian War, from providing weaponry and shelter to the soldiers in the colonies.

On December 16, 1773 the Sons of Liberty dressed as Mohawk Indians to disguise themselves. They boarded the ships and dumped 340 chests of tea into the Boston Harbor. There were more laws put in place against the colonists after the Boston Tea Party. This unified them more against the British rule and eventually led to the American Revolution.

BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS- November of 1773 an event happened that changed the colonist’s lives forever. During this time the Tea Act was taking place. This helped the British East Tea company by enabling them to send tea straight to the colonies, whereas they usually had to send the tea to England, then on to the colonies. The Parliament thought the colonist would like this change, but because they had to pay the duty, or import tax, which did not sit well with them, they were not so gracious with this decision. They started boycotting English goods, including the tea. Later in the month of November the Sons of Liberty dressed up as Indians and went on the ship containing the tea, and dumped hundreds beyond hundreds of boxes of tea off of the boat.

Sam was against the taxes and helped form resistance against the British Stamp Act. Sam Adams is significant because he played a key role in organizing the Boston Tea Party.

Loyalists were people who remained loyal to the king of England. This means that when the patriots wanted independence, loyalists didn’t. At that time loyalists were also called tories, royalists or king’s men. Loyalists had peaceful forms of protest because they believed that violence would create trouble. Also, King George lll would tax the colonies a lot, but the loyalists didn’t mind because they thought it was for a good cause.

Since King George taxed tea in the Townshend Act and the Tea Act all the colonists rebelled. As you know the tea act taxed tea twice. In response the Sons of Liberty dressed up as American Indians and painted there faces so none of the British recognized them, because at this time Sam Adams wad a warrant out for his arrest and he was a much wanted man. They went onto the ships late one night and dumped 45 tons of tea into the Boston Harbor. This caused the water to change a different color which it is currently still. This rebellion was known as the Boston Tea Party, and everyone still knows about it

The British Parliament made a law to tax on sugar, molasses, tea and other goods. The American colonists didn’t like that they were being taxed; they thought that they should have their own rights, freedom and form their own government. To express their anger to the Mother Country a group of men dressed up as Native Americans and threw tea down the Boston Harbor. This took place on December 16 1773.

Resistance was centered around the taxes and the new encroachment of rules. After being “independent” for so long, the colonies had problems with this new governing.

The money taxed was to go towards an attempt in raising money for England within the Colonies and to help the rice for the defending/protection fighting at the Appalachian of troops. This was all done as a way to raise money without colonial legislature acceptance. Citizens didn’t make a huge deal with it but some still disagreed.

frustrations of the Colonies and that taxes were imposed on them by the Parliament without

Cultures using hyphenated forms of “American,” such as Mexican-American, African-American, Asian-American, Native-American and many more is a step in the right direction for culture acceptance. With this positive move in the world, there could be a change in how cultures view themselves, leading to how others view them. The multicultural society has to take into account for this change because without their acceptance it would just be hate. Bharati Mukherjee in her essay “American Dreamer,” asserts, “WE MUST BE ALERT TO THE DANGERS OF AN ‘US’ vs. ‘THEM’ MENTALITY.” Although Mukherjee has a great point here, I have to disagree. I don’t feel that we have to be aware of the ‘US’ versus ‘THEM’ mentality with the change in cultural acceptance.

On one cold night of December 16, 1773 a group of men boarded a ship in the Boston harbor dressed as American Indians. With them they had the massive amount of 342 chests of tea being ready to be dumped into the harbor. Patriots like Samuel Adams, The Sons of Liberty, and Paul Revere joined in dumping the tea into the harbor. All this happened because of Great Britain forcing the colonists to buy tea from only one British company. After the Boston Tea Party the British Parliament passed several laws making sure that the colonists obeyed Great Britain. One of these laws shut down Boston harbor. British Ships blocked off the Harbor which meant no goods couldn’t be imported or exported. Many colonist thought they would starve. Just imagine not

The United States does have fluorite deposits of its own, but most of the fluorite used for commercial use is imported from various countries with only very small amounts being mined from within the US. From 2011-2014 the major fluorite producers included, in order of largest US import percentage: Mexico (76%), China (11%), South Africa (8%), and Mongolia (3%). The countries with the largest production and reserves respectively of fluorspar in order of thousands of metric tons are: China (3,800, 24,000), Mexico (1,100, 32,000), Mongolia (375, 22,000), and South Africa (200, 41,000) [8]. Fluorspar is commonly found as vein or replacement deposits and as additions to other minerals and rock formations such as granite, carbonate, and alkaline rock which are mined using both underground and open pit mining methods. The most economically viable and widely used of these methods is vein mining, which produces some of the highest grades of fluorspar [9]. Before discussing the mining methods used, some key terms will be defined for reference.

Following nearly six decades of severed diplomatic relations, President Obama announced in September 2015 that the United States would loosen a variety of economic restrictions on Cuba. This announcement came in the wake of a “diplomatic thaw” beginning in December 2014 with the intention of normalizing political, social, and economic relations between the two nations. While Cuba remains under restrictions imposed by the 1960 Cuban Embargo, the steps taken by the Obama administration represent a critical step forward in ensuring a stable Cuba. In the following paper I argue that the actions of the United States as a Unipole have the possibility to follow two separate trajectories. When viewed through the realist perspective of Ikenberry, the United States would benefit from normalized relations through American investment in Cuban businesses while stimulating economic growth through free trade and advancing the spread of democracy. Alternatively, the constructivist theory outlined by Finnemore would put the United States at an impasse. Though legitimization through the support of the Vatican and Canada increases the likelihood of a successful long-term diplomatic relationship, enduring U.S hypocrisy on human rights violations; namely the United States condemnation of free speech repression in Cuba while simultaneously operating the Guantanamo Bay Detention Facility, potentially impedes efforts towards diplomacy.
