Think BOSTON TEAPARTY..or go research it in your case. The 1/6 patriots did nothing more than our founders intended and did.
Bull fawking shit, you are a damn moron. In the Boston Tea Party they came aboard the ship, at night, and tossed all the tea overboard. They were not screaming hang the captain, they didn't break in the captain's quarters, take the ship's log, break off parts of the ship for souvenirs, or vandalize any other part of the ship. Matter of fact, when some people tried to fish some of the chests out of the sea to get some free tea they got their asses kicked. And perhaps most importantly, every damn dime of tax on that tea was paid, Benjamin Franklin made sure of it.
The boston teaparty, the PROTESTORS put on funny outfits (dressed like indians and other things) broke onto the ships likely with some of the crew helping or allowing them on and then tossing off chest of tea leaves? The original teaparty was followed by another boston teaparty and several other teaparties in other colonies----------to claim that no one involved in these teaparties took momentos is naive and silly but as pathetic as claiming that the Teapartiers and the 1/6 protestors aren't behaving a lot alike.
Friendly advice: don't try to refute Winston when it comes to history. It won't end well for you.
I dunno seems to worked out well so far and so easily...what type of idiot doesn't get the connection between the teaparties and 1/6....(people protesting an abusive government with Biden's communist regime being worse.)
And fyi, Syn......no one needs advice from you---of all the posters on the board, you are certainly the most intellectually disadvantaged.
Nope, an idiot would try to compare the tea party to the mob at the Capitol. The culprits of the tea party were disciplined. They were not attempting to overthrow the government, stop the seating of a governor, or hang anyone. They committed no vandalism, did not steal any property other than the tea they destroyed, and even paid for what they did destroy.
The culprits of the tea party left a meeting hall, they didn't attempt to break into one. Nor did they attempt to disrupt a public meeting of any type, let alone a legislative body. And probably, most of all, they didn't brag about what they did or parade around like roosters after the fact. Hell, it was almost fifty years before the event was even called the Boston Tea Party.
Hun, you are arguing nonsense. The teapartiers sought to disrupt the Brit government taxation. I don't know why you are stuck on whether they trying to disrupt a meeting--------disrupting a meeting is less criminal than destroying tea in the 1700's. No they weren't bragging well most weren't as when they opened their mouths which atleast one did that I know of was arrested and placed in prison........ The Boston teaparty was followed by another teaparty and several other colony teaparties often with many of the same players such as Hancock and even Benedict arnold taking part. When the Teaparty was named makes no difference and nothing that you babbled changes the fact that the 1/6 protestors are really no different than the teaparty protestors--they both used much of the same techniques and think will be getting alot of the same results long term.
NO. NO. NO. It was not about the tax, it was about granting a monopoly to the East India Tea Company. It was more about the tea being shit than any damn tax. Hell, if it was about the tax then why didn't they protest years earlier? I already told you, there was no additional tax on tea levied by the Tea Act. Tea got CHEAPER, because the East India Tea company did not have to pay duties in Britain for the tea as they had to prior to the Tea Act.
Why would anyone care about the East India Tea Co. having a monopoly or not?
Only another tea company would care.
If the tea was bad, then no one would want to buy it.
No, the cost would have to be the problem, and the taxes the cause.
And the tax was from the British government, not a private company.
There were a series of acts
It was the Townshend Acts which greatly increased the cost of many things originally, tea being just one of them.
{...
1767
Townshend Acts
To help pay the expenses involved in governing the American colonies, Parliament passed the Townshend Acts, which initiated taxes on glass, lead, paint, paper, and tea.
...
1770
Townshend Acts Cut Back
Because of the reduced profits resulting from the colonial boycott of imported British goods, Parliament withdrew all of the Townshend Act (1767) taxes except for the tax on tea.
...
1773
Tea Act
By reducing the tax on imported British tea, this act gave British merchants an unfair advantage in selling their tea in America. American colonists condemned the act, and many planned to boycott tea.
Boston Tea Party
When British tea ships arrived in Boston harbor, many citizens wanted the tea sent back to England without the payment of any taxes. The royal governor insisted on payment of all taxes. On December 16, a group of men disguised as Indians boarded the ships and dumped all the tea in the harbor.
1774
Coercive Acts
In response to the Boston Tea Party, Parliament passed several acts to punish Massachusetts. The Boston Port Bill banned the loading or unloading of any ships in Boston harbor. The Administration of Justice Act offered protection to royal officials in Massachusetts, allowing them to transfer to England all court cases against them involving riot suppression or revenue collection. The Massachusetts Government Act put the election of most government officials under the control of the Crown, essentially eliminating the Massachusetts charter of government.
