Title: 250 years! "The Destruction of the Tea"
Post by: The Wolfhound on December 15, 2023, 09:09:54 AM
December 16 is upon us (tomorrow, as I write this). The Destruction of the Tea occurred 250 years ago! Remember the event that more than any other lit the fuse for the battles of April 19th, 16 months later.  Very few of the men involved were identified during their lives.  Some only upon their deaths in later years.  Because they stood, and those who would stand later, we were bequeathed this nation.  I salute the "Indians" of December 16, 1773.  Disobedience, yes, but kept in the bounds of civility.  May we all draw inspiration form their actions.  I charge YOU to remember!

The Wolfhound is absolutely right! And Thanks for the reenactment link too.

Below is a link to a recent article Ah1Tom did in the newsletter on the subject.
