sufjansontag:libertarian–princess:shaelit:roachpatrol:coolthingoftheday:This is what the tea that was dumped into the Boston Harbor would have looked like. In the 1700s, tea was compressed into planks; a plank this size could last a person roughly a year. They would be bought in sections, and small slivers would be shaved off into the kettle every time somebody wanted to make a cup of tea.(Source)what the **** that’s so neatSo what you’re telling me is that they were Frisbeeing tea off the ships.And THAT’S why it was such a big deal; they literally destroyed a couple decades worth of tea with each crate they tossed.They dumped forty-six tons of the stuff into Boston Harbor; that’s worth $1.7 million USD adjusted for inflation.People don’t protest like they used to smdh#this teaBut property damage is an ineffective form of protest -- source link
