Tea Party - Schoolhouse Rock - No more Kings

Tea party

[@louiseethompson]

I just took the AP world history test and wrote an essay comparing the American and French revolutions. I started singing this song in my head and it's what saved my essay from being complete trash

[@davidkonen7159]

Also, the French Revolution had started in 1789, just 13 years AFTER our country had DECLARED its INDEPENDENCE (also, the French Revolution started as we had our 1st President, George Washington)

"We're gonna show you how we feel; we're gonna dump this tea... and turn this harbor into the biggest cup of tea in history." My favorite lyrics from there

[@alienxotic5028]

Same

[@vahe2391]

This lyric is a reference to the Boston Tea Party of November 1773, which was a rebuke of the Tea Act that levied taxes on British tea entering the colonies. The people of Boston dressed themselves as Mohawks during the Boston Tea Party to distract British merchants from unloading more boxes of British tea into Boston Harbor, and after the tea party, a furious King George III in 1774 had Parliament pass the Intolerable Acts whereby: (1) Boston harbor was shut down until the Bostoners paid reparations for dumping the tea into the Harbor; (2) the colonial governor of Massachusetts would order trials of accused royal officials to take place in Great Britain if he decided that the defendant could not get a fair trial in Massachusetts; (3) the British crown had the sole discretion of appointing officials within the Massachusetts colonial gov't, not the colonial governor; and (4) ordering British troops to be quartered in colonial homes.

[@dkupke]

Colonial Americans didn't revolt because they're taxes were too high-the taxes in the American colonies were actually among the lowest in the entire British Empire. What DID drive them into revolution was that these taxes were being imposed unilaterally without them having any say, and that they're attempts to protest by seeking representation in the British government had been denied-and, further, their attempts to protest peacefully by boycotting British goods had been stifled forcefully by blockading they're harbors and seizing they're ships. It came down to them saying "We're being treated like a separate nation, so we may as well be one!" not "Our taxes are too high!"

[@rcflyer40plus1]

Yes, "Taxation without representation"

[@JadeyCatgirl99]

Oh no he is onto our plan to brainwash the children of America that we our a perfect nation and the best one on Earth. Quick secret police take him out!

[@dkupke]

TheAres1999 Here's another good one for ya: one day one of Jesus' acolytes asked him whether or not they still had to pay taxes since, after all, they were choosing to follow God and not the government of Rome. Jesus replied "Render unto Caesar what is Caesar's and unto God what is God's." In other words, "Just pay your stinking taxes like everyone else." Not too long afterward he was crucified.

[@cgaskill13]

I say that the problem was that England forgot what kind of colonists they were. They were treated like conquered colonists rather than English citizens who settled else where.

[@dkupke]

cgaskill13 That's my point. It wasn't "Our taxes are too high so we want out of the Empire," it was "We're being treated like a separate country-so we are going to be one." Had the British government of the time allowed the colonies to elect representatives to to Royal Court, odds are we would be in a position similar to Canada today-nominally independent but still acknowledging the monarch as our head of state.

In their ship MayFlower, They hoped to find a better home. They finally knocked On Plymouth Rock and someone said "We're There!" It may not look like home but at this point i dont care! Oh they were missing Mother England, They swore their loyalty until the very end. Anything you say, King, its OK, King , You know its kinda scary on your own. Gonna build a new land The way we planned Could you help us run till its grown? They planted corn, you know They built their houses one by one, And bit by bit they worked Until the colonies were done. They looked around, Yeah, up and down And someone said "Hurray!" If the king could only see us now He would be proud of us today. CONTINUED...

they knew they'd run their own land, But George the Third still vowed He'd rule them till the end. Anything i say, do it my way now Anything i say, do it my way. Dont get to feeling independent 'Cause I'm gonna force you to obey! He taxed their property, He didn't give them any choice And back in England He didn't give them any voice. (thats called taxation without representation, and its not fair!) But when the colonies complained The king said: "I don't Care!" He even has the nerve To tax our cup of tea To put it kindly, King, We really don't agree Gonna show you how we feel. We're gonna dump this tea And turn this harbor into The biggest cup of tea in history! They wanted mo more Mother England. They knew the time would come For them to take command. Its very clear you're being unfair, king, No matter what you say, we wont obey. Gonna hold a revolution now, king, And we're gonna run it all our way With no more Kings...

"The People" refers to American citizens, as in "We the People" (LOL), funny that, it's mythical to you. These cartoons were helpful in educating kids about the American government, there needs to be an effort to offer kids an understanding of our constitution. The majority of kids today are clueless when it comes to the importance of our constitution, their rights as citizens and their role in the running of our country. Schools today are not effective in teaching kids about these things despite our ever increasing education funding.

I'm a baby boomer and have spent my entire adult life in education, so please don't lump us all together. And the school where I taught competed in event about the constitution.

Oh my gosh! Do I remember these. They came on after Saturday morning cartoons on ABC. Help me recite the preamble for civics class in 8th grade!!!!

[@YManCyberDude]

+talkieful1 … We had to recite The Preamble in around 5th grade. I was bummed out because I hated memorization. We were told we had 2 weeks to learn it. Well the day it was assigned many went ahead & asked if they could recite it that very day. I thought "What the heck ?" Then I read it & realized I also already knew it & recited it that day too.

[@nightmaretomb5294]

I My teacher said I got it wrong because they left out a line. It's not "We the people" iIt's "We the people of the United States."

[@YManCyberDude]

Nightmare Tomb … I believe that part was changed a few times. I think at one time it was also "United States of America"...
