It was a remote and controlling government that was demanding new taxes – on tea and more – and insisting on a subservience that included providing housing and food for an occupying force that triggered the famed Boston Tea Party.
But those colonists didn't stop there. Next, in September of 1774, representatives from 12 of America's original 13 colonies met in the First Continental Congress in Philadelphia's Carpenters' Hall, and they insisted that the king of England back off, enforcing their demands with a boycott of British trade and goods.

Definitely no congress of any sort.
ReplyDeleteThe people should invite a foreign power that would take over the United States as a protectorate, and only ask for tax on tea and the cost of accomodation of a few thousand troops. (100% sales-tax on tea and a Hilton room for 10,000 soldiers ---as opposed to freedom and independence at the cost of 47% income-tax)
Ha! :)
DeleteFalse Flag operation, organized by the FBI?
ReplyDeleteHadn't thought of that but if so, Larry Klayman has been fooled.
