TheDynamiteGeneral's video: Must see The TRUE story of the Boston Tea Party

The ONLY first person account of the Boston Tea Party: A retrospect of the Boston tea-party, with a memoir of George Robert Twelves Hewes, a survivor of the little band of patriots who drowned the tea in Boston harbour in 1773 (1834). While American merchants paid taxes, British allowed the East India Tea Company to sell a half million pounds of tea in the Colonies with no taxes, giving them a monopoly by underselling American merchants. The citizens of Boston had enough. On December 16, 1773, led by Samuel Adams, a band of patriots called Sons of Liberty, disguised themselves as Mohawk Indians, left the South Meeting House toward Griffin's Wharf, boarded the ships Dartmouth, Eleanor and Beaver, and threw 342 chests of tea into the harbor. This was called the Boston Tea Party. The men of Marlborough, Massachusetts, declared: "Death is more eligible than slavery. A free-born people are not required by the religion of Jesus Christ to submit to tyranny, but may make use of such power as God has given them to recover and support their liberties... We implore the Ruler above the skies that He would bare His arm...and let Israel go."
