Birthday Tea Parties

The Tea Party - How the Boston Tea Party as a nation
Saturday evening I sat perched on a rooftop, trying to see beyond the silhouette of a pine, mesmerized by the red and blue stripes, the green pulse, and the silver glow painted the sky in the afternoon. Parties gave way through of America as people gathered for the barbecue, beer and bounce huddled under the sky, celebrating the day two hundred thirty-three years ago our ancestors said an independent nation.
So what does this have to do with the tea?
Let's step back a bit ... much, really. In early 1700, Britain had given a monopoly on all tea imported and distributed in their country. The East India Trading Company was the sole importer legal area, and these rights they paid a heavy 25% tax on all goods imported. Tea was bought in bulk at auction in Britain and then imported from there to the colonies, where they faced an additional tax. This, in turn, raised the price of tea in a significant way to the end user, and as a result promoted illegal imports of tea from countries like Holland. In fact, tea has been made both in the country illegally that by 1760 the East India Trading Company began to suffer in spite of its monopoly rights. To help the company, the United Kingdom allowed the East India Company Import directly to the Americas, eliminating the intermediary in the United Kingdom and increase your profit margin dramatically. High taxes on tea for settlers remained in place however, and for the settlers in the United States, angry with the high levels of taxation without representation faced in government, this was the last straw.
In early 1770, the American colonists had given a boycott of all products area and had successfully turned away from several ships product of its ports. In 1773, when three ships entered the port of Boston, several men guarding the area to ensure that the product can not be discharged, while more than seven thousand settlers gathered in a meeting together to discuss the tactics of the strike. For twenty days the settlers called the captain of the ship to return to Britain with the product, and the exception of Massachusetts governor, for twenty days Sat stationary vessels. On December 16, 1773, the day before the twentieth day, more than a hundred men disguised as Indians boarded slightly each of the three ships. Hacking with their tomahawks, they broke every one of 342 boxes tea and poured its contents over the edge and into the waters below the opening. More than 90,000 pounds of loose tea was lost at sea that night.
This event, known as the "Boston Tea Party" was not well received in Britain. In response, the British Parliament passed the Coercive Acts, which essentially closed Boston Harbor to all ships of trade and of entry and demanded payment for lost product. This punishment drastic damage to settlers from Massachusetts, and sympathies began to emerge from other colonies. The intention was to keep law enforcement online colonies, however, only served to unite against British rule. The first Continental Congress was held as a result, in September 1774, and within a year the colonies fought the British armies in the War of Independence.
The Boston Tea Party is considered one of the first acts of protest in our nation, and as the colonies were united to become States of America and our constitution was written the right to freedom of expression and protest was remembered and protected. In recent months, news has discharged with party members Republican meet regularly in many cities around the country to protest the recent spending Obama administration. They have called these meetings "to Tea Parties. "
July 04 marks the day in 1776 that the Declaration of Independence from Britain was written. Two hundred thirty-three years later, being a strong and independent nation, and Britain has remained a close ally, despite the difficult start to our relationship. In the I remember, I would like to propose a toast to our country and also to separate us for a long time, and what better way to toast our English tea rooms.
Here is our country: Happy birthday.
