The Boston Massacre and the Boston Tea Party

The people of Massachusetts had more power over their own government than anyone else in the British empire. These independent minded colonists increased in their feelings of bitterness and resentment as the crown raised taxes on American goods and sent soldiers to enforce the new policies. These building tensions eventually led to outward expressions of resistance. The Boston Massacre and the Boston Tea Party made the American Revolution inevitable.

They should have kept them in Boston, a far worse fate than sending to vacation on the Jersey shore.

he's eloquent, she's needed to be more sharp in her questions... sounded like a high school 9th grader in the way she handled their conversation.

[@redriver6541]

I think she did wonderful. An absolutely lovely and intelligent young lady. She may have just been nervous, but I learned so much from this interview.

[@jenniferbrady-lo2vu]

It also may be her natural demeanor with a little...nah. she does sit up straight, has done her research to prepare for the interview. This gentleman is so cool. I love history

Having Troops in town was a violation of Habeas Corpus that was long ago established by The Magna Carta (12th Century), in which, also brought about your right to a trial by jury. Of course, Sir Edward Coke was a strong defender of The Magna Carta who Roger Williams became a student of before coming to America in 1630. Of course, Roger Williams introduced The Separation of Church & State onboard The Lyon in 1631 which was shot down for the next 5 years before it began to gain ground, in which, many years later became known as The Establishment Clause to our U.S. First Amendment. Of course, The Separation of Church & State also brought about Religious Freedom which was a quest by our Pilgrim Fathers as well as our U.S. Founding Fathers during a time when there were very few Catholics living in The United States during 1776. Of course, everyone forgets The Separatist Movement that led to The Founding of The United States, and they were mostly Protestant. However, Anglican Protestants in Virginia were unlike Anglicans in The New England States who mostly supported The Separatist Movement in order to secede from The British. Of course, Anglicans in Virginia, even to this day, call King Charles I a martyr who was executed during The English Civil War in 1649 along with his wife, Henrietta Maria, the queen's consort & daughter of King Henry IVth from France. Of course, King James II was also removed from the throne and replaced by his nephew, Prince William The Orange also known as Prince William III. However, Anglicans in Virginia seem to fail to remember all those Protestant Martyrs executed starting with John Rogers, The First Protestant Martyr of many. Of course, King Charles I also believed that he was the ultimate decider of a person's fate who did not believe in The Magna Carta. Of course, King Charles I was Anglican while his wife, Henrietta Maria, was Catholic. Even though King Charles I and wife, Henrietta Maria were executed in 1649, France still supplied ships and munitions to our U.S. Founding Fathers. Why is that? Of course, it is even mentioned through The Encyclopedia Britannica that there were only 25 thousand Catholics in 1776 out of a population of 4.5 million people. Of course, The PEW Research Center state 5% were Catholic in 1776 and some through Academia Dot Edu state 35,000. In other words, there were very few Catholics in 1776. Queen Mary I executed 81 Protestant Martyrs, but there were over 200 Protestant Martyrs executed. Queen Mary The I, daughter of King Henry VIII & Queen Catherine of Aragon. On The 15th of November, 1501, Prince Arthur Tudor married Catherine of Aragon, a strict Catholic from Spain. They were both 15 years old when they married. However, Arthur Tudor died on the 2nd of April 1502 after 5 months of marriage. On June 11th, 1509, Prince Henry Tudor, also known as King Henry VIII, married Catherine of Aragon, & his eldest daughter's name was Mary Tudor born February 18, 1516 also known as Queen Mary I. King Henry VIII also had a son born on the 15th of June, 1519, Henry Fitzroy, but he was the son of his mistress, Elizabeth Blount. Henry Fitzroy was illegit to succeed to the throne. King Henry VIII's 2nd daughter was, Elizabeth Tudor, born on the 7 September 1533 named after her grandmother, Elizabeth of York. Elizabeth Tudor was King Henry VIII & Queen Anne Boleyn's daughter after they married on the 25th of January 1533. King Henry VIII had another son, Edward VI born on the 12th of October 1537, with Jane Seymour, his 3rd wife of six wives. Of course, I'm sure you all probably forget history when it comes to Queen Anne Boleyn influenced by Martin Luther & William Tyndale according to The Tudor Society out of London. Thomas Cromwell, King Henry VIII's most trusted advisor, suggested to King Henry VIII that he establish his own church after Pope Clement VII sent King Henry VIII a letter on January 5, 1531 refusing to allow King Henry VIII to nullify his marriage to Queen Catherine of Aragon or he would face excommunication from The Roman Catholic Church. Of course, after Anne Boleyn became pregnant, King Henry VIII didn't want Anne having his child out of wedlock. That is when Thomas Cromwell suggested to King Henry VIII that he should form his own church in order to marry Anne Boleyn (Protestant). On August 31st, 1535, King Henry VIII was excommunicated from The Roman Catholic Church. Prior to that, Anne Boleyn found out about King Henry VIII's new mistress, Jane Seymour, before they married while Anne Boleyn carried, Elizabeth Tudor, in her womb. Of course, Anne confronted King Henry VIII about his new mistress, & King Henry VIII walked up to Anne Boleyn's face, vis a vie, and simply said, "Bare It" as National Geographic put it in their article on Anne Boleyn. Of course, After King Henry VIII founded The Church of England, he ended up executing Catholic Monks known as The Carthusian Martyrs of London. 18 Carthusians were executed for refusing to accept Henry VIII as the head of the church of England. Three Prominent Monks were executed on the 4th of May 1535. Of course, Anne Boleyn was a Protestant influenced by Martin Luther (Lutheranism) & William Tyndale (encyclopedias). In 1536, Thomas Cromwell accused Anne Boleyn of committing adultery with her brother, George Boleyn & Associates, according to The Tudor Society out of London. When Thomas Cromwell accused Anne Boleyn of committing adultery, King Henry VIII was more engaged in seeing Jane Seymour more so than Queen Anne Boleyn. George Boleyn was executed a few days before Queen Anne Boleyn who was executed on The 19th of of May, 1536. 11 days later, King Henry VIII married Jane Seymour on May 30th, 1536. King Henry VIII also cast out his eldest daughter, Mary Tudor, when he married Queen Anne Boleyn, & Mary Tudor (Queen Mary I) tried to work her good grace back in with her father after he had Queen Anne Boleyn & her brother, George Boleyn, executed in 1536. George Boleyn & Queen Anne Boleyn were buried beside The Chapel St. Peter ad Vincula. Queen Victoria in 1876 ordered their graves exhumed when she ordered repairs done to that church in London. Martin Luther's 95 Theses (1517) spoke of corruption coming from within The Roman Catholic Church under "Pope Leo X" (1514), and there were those in the past that said that Queen Anne Boleyn was more of a Protestant than Martin Luther was as mentioned through National Geographic - As for Martin Luther "Corruption Roman Catholic Church Early 1500s - Encyclopedia Britannica" Martin Luther was also said to have sparked The Protestant Reformation, but others believe through History Dot Com that Queen Anne Boleyn sparked The Protestant Reformation more so than Martin Luther's 95 Thesis did. Martin Luther was the first person who set out to translate The New Testament into German from Greek (Latin). William Tyndale was the first person to translate The New Testament into English from Greek (Latin). 3,000 copies were published, but they were illegal to read by the order of The Roman Catholic Church. William Tyndale's New Testament was used later by King James I in order to create The King James Version of The Bible. Jane Seymour gave King Henry VIII a male heir named, Edward Tudor (also known as King Edward VI), born on 12th October 1537, the eve the feast day of St Edward the Confessor. Of course, Edward VI died on the 6th of July 1553 after King Henry VIII died in January of 1547. King Edward VI's reign only lasted 6 years. Of course, Mary Tudor, also known as Queen Mary I, also known as 'Bloody Mary' by History Dot Com & The Encyclopedia Britannica succeeded to the throne after King Edward VI died. Mary Tudor (Queen Mary I) walked on eggshells trying not to say the wrong words to her father after moving back into the palace after King Henry VIII executed Anne Boleyn & her brother. Mary Tudor was Catholic like her mother who was a strict Catholic from Spain who inherited The Church of England (Protestant due to Queen Anne Boleyn).
