1. I've wanted to say this.

Here you have the tea bags running around in this clothes with the tricornerd hats etc. When the settlers decided to throw the tea over board because the Tea Company had raised the price out of sight, didn't they dress in indian outfits. And the clothes the tea bags wear, aren't they the kind that came into style after the revolution. Before the revolution they wore leather breeches and rough cut shirts. Not the fancy glitzed up stuff Fox and the tea bags favor. What are they trying to give people impressions of, I would like to know. Bet they don't run around in Indian costumes.

2. the whole "Boston Tea Party"

was about the guys who were making money smuggling tea. It was all about the money.

some bits:

John Hancock was a wealthy shipping magnate, who made the bulk of his money illegally by smuggling. Many colonials were smugglers, Hancock just happened to have a flair for it. Because the ever-tightening British policies that came about after the French and Indian War were aimed at his sort, he wholeheartedly took part in the call for Revolution.

It was a well known fact that John Hancock had made his fortune through smuggling Dutch tea, which was cheaper than East Indian tea. A commonly forgotten fact is that East Indian prices were cut before the introduction of the three pence tax, in effect making its price, even with the tax, cheaper than Hancock’s tea. Presented with this information, many loyalists did not wonder at Hancock’s involvement in the boycotting of East Indian tea and indeed, the entire war.



Sam Adams, and other "merchants", "positioned" the argument to be about "Patriotism", but in essence, it was about their businesses and eliminating the competition and whatever cut into their profit margins...
