The Boston Tea Party that I studied in History was due to the people paying a double tax on the tea being imported from Europe to the British Colonies here in America. This was the American People’s revolt against the current government. Result of the tea party was that tea imports was stopped until the tea was paid for and the mess cleaned up, and then the government was able to work out a better deal for the people and the tea distributors. It also put the tea smugglers out of business. The amazing result is that we still don’t have tea smugglers today! What they did back then was a turning point, and huge event in history. The voice of the people was heard and it made a difference for the better.
What about today? Not only are the old style of clothes coming back with the white shoes and big collars and plaid pants, I am hoping this style moves in and out quickly, a large number of cities across the United States are having protests and calling them “Tea Parties”. This is the people of the United States revolting against the way the current Government is spending money. Are they hoping that the numerous “Tea Parties” are going to add up to a Historic event like it did so many years ago?
The original Boston Tea Party was based on facts. What are the Tea Parties of today based on? The people going to them and organizing them truly seem to feel that the event is based on true current facts.
What are your thoughts on the current “Tea Party” gatherings? I will be sharing more about mine later.
