“Alistair Cooke’s America” was a book published during the 1980’s. From the British perspective, they were nearly bankrupted by the Seven Years War in Europe, which their adversary, France, exploited in North America in what we called the French and Indian War. We sometimes forget that the American colonies could have been either wiped out or have become French if the British army had not protected us. The Tea Tax, the Stamp Act, and the other taxes we called the Intolerable Acts were levied to pay for the British protecting us.

Thanks for the insight. Different historical perspective are important to consider when analyzing events. Thanks

Oh, and there were simular tea parties down along the American coast, but England mostly ignored them.

Thank you Lewis, that is great point and interesting fact. Thank you for your comment.

John Hancock cornered the Black Market tea trade so cheap British tea was bad for business. He wanted to do something to get rid of the competition.

If they were "patriots," why would the dress up as Mohawks Indian? It would seem that if you are patriotic, you dress as yourself.
