Boston Tea Party Remembered
No Taxation without Representation!
The Boston Tea Party was a direct action by colonists in Boston, a town in the British colony of Massachusetts, against the British government and the monopolistic East India Company that controlled all the tea coming into the colonies. On December 16, 1773, after officials in Boston refused to return three shiploads of taxed tea to Britain, a group of colonists boarded the ships and destroyed the tea by throwing it into Boston Harbor. - Wikipedia
In honor of that protest - ALL ROYAL NAVY and EAST INDIA are the ETC's primary targets today!
