...Process in the United States [The Boston Tea Party] Student: Arleta Dunlap Course: POS 2311-05 American National Government Semester: Fall, 2011 Professor: Dr. Mordu Serry-Kamal Institution: Winston-Salem State University Date: November 28, 2011 I. Introduction “Tea Party Myths” is an article about the event that took place on December 16, 1773 in Boston, Massachusetts. It refers to a few different misconceptions or “myths” about the event, and discusses the accurate facts of that historic day. The author of the article is Ray Raphael. The author of this article has advanced because he clearly points out the facts of the Boston Tea Party that many people do not know. There are so many misinterpretations of the event, and he pointed them out with accuracy. II. Literature Review The author is trying to make three specific points regarding misconceptions of the Boston Tea Party, as well as make a few factual points about the event in general. The first myth that Raphael referred to was that the whole event began because of higher taxes on tea. Tea was a major commodity at that time and it is believed by some that the colonist rebelled due to these taxes that were implemented. The truth of the matter is that there was actually a tax break for the colonists. The author states that the issue was not a rise in taxes, but the fact that the colonists had no part in the decision making. The author also corrected the idea that the tea taxes were a heavy burden on the...

...of this research is to examine the events and issues surrounding the Boston Tea Party. The intention of the research will be to set the overall order of issues that emerged and establish the political context in which the Tea Party would take place, and then to discuss the impact of the incident on the colonies, that would ultimately lead to the Revolutionary War. Understanding the importance of the Boston Tea Party cannot be obtained without an understanding of the issues and events that preceded it. The Party, which occurred in 1773, had its origins several years earlier, in the wake of the French and Indian War, which ended in 1763. In 1766, Parliament passed the Quartering Act, which provided for "billeting, provisioning and discipline of British forces, requiring colonial assemblies to provide barracks and supplies such as candles, fuel, vinegar, beer and salt for the regulars, costs of the Army in America at the 'dictate' of Parliament" (Tuchman 167). Further to this point, the Seven Years' War was over; why the need for such a large standing army in America? This first Quartering Act was, however, obeyed in general terms, and even partly rescinded as to enforcement (182), until other Parliamentary measures pointed up colonists' feeling of oppression. By 1767, the Stamp Act had been passed, and then revoked in the face of an American boycott of covered goods. In 1767, the Townshend Acts legalized import duties on "glass, lead, paints, paper, and tea." The stated...

...4/12/2012 By: Derek Putnam | | The Sons of Liberty | | The Sons of Liberty | The Sons of Liberty used their power and influence to manipulate popular opinion, thereby inciting the public to act against the laws and control of England. They were one of the most influential groups behind the American Revolution. The start of the Sons of Liberty is something of a mystery. The group always met in secret and it is disputed where it all began. Some say it started in New York and some will say under the leadership of Samuel Adams the Boston chapter was first. One thing is certain though, they all had the same goal, to organize public opinion and coordinate patriotic actions against Great Britain. The Sons of Liberty met at night so not to attract the British soldiers and to keep their activities secret until they felt it was time to make them public. One of the main reasons the groups were started was to protest and campaign against the Stamp Act. That was just the start of what the group would protest against and continue to fight for liberty against Britain. The Sons of Liberty name actually came from a speech given to parliament by Colonel Isaac Barre, “the behavior of Britain’s officials toward Americans on many occasions has caused the blood of those Sons of Liberty to recoil within them”, which wasn’t intended to imply disloyalty towards the crown but when word got back to the colonies and they saw his words they used them to their benefit. Barre...

...The Boston Massacre took place on the evening of March 5, 1770. This rebellion resulted in the killing of around five colonists and it raised the tensions even more between the colonists and the British government, which later on lead to the awareness of a possible American Revolution. The question to be addressed in this research paper is which were the major events that over time lead to the Boston Massacre, such as the “Stamp Act of 1765”, “Quartering Act of 1765”, and the “Townshend Act of 1767”. The British Parliament introduced the “Stamp Act of 1765”, this new act had the main purpose to help the British crown pay the expenses of the results from the “French and Indian War”. This new introduction by the British Parliament resulted in a negative reaction from the people of the colonies. They believed that this new Act was just a justification to obtain more money from the colonies and continue to benefit only the Mother Country. Also, they believed that the British crown had no right to tax them due to the fact that they weren’t allowed to choose their representatives (“No Taxation Without Representation”). Riots and protests were very popular during this time period especially aggressive actions toward the tax officials. This actions later lead to the arrive of more British troops to prevent more revolts and maintain a...

The Sons of Liberty was an organization of American colonists that was created to protect the rights of the colonist and to fight taxation that was coming from the British. One of their biggest contributions was that they protested against the Stamp Act which was created to tax printed materials. The name of the site that I will be using is http://www.bostonteapartyship.com/sons-of-liberty. This website that I am using on my assignment is associated with both a virtual and physical museum located in Boston Massachusetts. After doing some research on the website, I could not find any information that related to any missions or purposes but it did mention who the provider of the site was. On the website, it says “this page was developed with the help of one of our great cast members here at the Boston Tea Party Ships and Museum.” On the bottom of the page, there is a picture of another contributor to the website. That is MCCA, which stands for Massachusetts Convention Center Authority. On the main page of the website I am writing about, there is no audio or video material but there are other links that can be clicked on and are accessible to watch learning videos on the Sons of Liberty and other events around that period in time.

...Hewes and the American Revolution In the years leading up to the American Revolution, the city of Boston became a hot bed of colonist rebellion against the British Government. The citizens in Boston, of the Massachusetts Bay Colony, had become fed up with unjustified taxation levied against them by the British. The colonists of Boston also saw it to be problematic that the colonies were subject to British rule, but were not represented in Parliament. In the half-decade prior to the Revolutionary War, the city of Boston hosted two monumental events that rallied the colonists into the direction of independence; the Boston Massacre and the Boston Tea Party. A man named George Roberts Twelve Hewes had the honor of being able to witness and take direct involvement in both the Massacre and the Tea Party. George Roberts Twelve Hewes was born and raised in Massachusetts and saw the development of the Revolution from the perspective of an “everyday” colonist. He was born on August 25th, 1742. Hewes was a shoemaker by trade and was never able to amount an impressive net worth. If anything, it can be argued that Hewes was very much more poverty stricken than anything else. Money never seemed to influence Hewes’s actions; instead George Roberts Twelve Hewes was a man of principal and integrity. Prior to the Revolutionary War, Hewes participated in both the Boston Massacre and Boston Tea Party. During the Revolutionary War, Hewes served as a Privateer and a member of the militia for the...

You may also include acknowledgement to be followed po ang final prod. You can also add table of contents) Introduction “The very ink with which all history is written is merely fluid prejudice” Ink is such a tiny word, three letters, but it has played such a huge part on the stage of world history. The original use for ink was to draw and paint on the walls of caves a lasting legacy of prehistoric man. However, its greatest impact was to spread knowledge, in the form of the printed word, long before Johann Gutenberg invented the printing press in Germany in the mid fifteenth Century. Ink has been a dye since the dawn of man; early examples were a mixture of soot from wood smoke and oil, thickened with gelatin from animal skins and musk. There is no definitive history of ink, ironic really, when it ink was the medium used to preserve the archives, and historic records that tell us much of our past. Ink is everywhere, though we often do not notice it, it has been used to print the labels of the food in the supermarket; it drips, leaks, splodges, and spurts from the faulty ballpoint pen in your pocket. Yet it has a direct impact on our everyday life, it is not possible to function without touching ink at least a couple of hundred times a day. Fraudulent acts have been come to light because of ink analysis. Ink is a medium that...

...funded by its citizen’s hard earned tax dollars. It has been the main source of funding for several wars and government-funded programs. Taxes affect every person, business, and property. This environment of constant change is a challenge for most accountants or anyone for that matter. This paper seeks to explore the history of the Federal Income Tax System, the Internal Revenue Code, the Internal Revenue Service, and guidelines and improvement of the tax system. History of Taxation in the United States The history of taxation in the United States commenced when the British, French and Spanish Empires ruled the individual colonies established in the US. This was back in the 1790’s after World War I. After their independence from Europe, the taxation system continued by collection of poll taxes, tariffs, and excise taxes. There were various acts passed by parliament which imposed taxation of various items such as lead, paper, paint, glass, stamps, sugar, and tea as a means of tax collection. From these come the Sugar Act, the Stamp Act, and the Townshend Revenue Act. The Boston Tea Party was the insurgency against the British colonists by the American colonists to not pay the tea tax levied upon them. Federal Government Income Tax History The taxation system in the United States is governed by different levels of government. There are different methods of taxation as well. The tariffs imposed were the largest source of federal revenue from 1790 to the eve...

...Cited: Page 89 Introduction Boston Beer Company (SAM) is one of the fastest growing breweries in the United States of America currently holding the largest market share of craft brewers in the country, and 6th largest of all brewers. Founded in 1984 in Boston, Massachusetts and staying true to both its local and family roots, this high quality beer has become an icon throughout the nation. Another extremely successful and predominant corporation in the beverage-alcohol industry is that of Anheuser-Busch Inbev SA (BUD) which will serve for the purposes of this paper as a benchmark for how a firm should be performing and operating in this field. Being that Anheuser-Busch has been operating since 1852, has 13 breweries nation-wide, and is one of the most iconic breweries in the world, it truly is a unique comparison of “David vs. Goliath” for these two companies. The History of the Boston Beer Company Jim Koch, founding member of The Boston Beer Company, has a long proud history of brewing a robust, full flavored beer in his family. In fact, it was his great-great grandfather Louise Koch, who concocted the original recipe for the brands metaphorical bread and butter “Samuel Adams Boston Lager” which is by far the bestselling brand in the portfolio of beers the company holds and distributes. The “Sam Adams” name (also the inspiration for the NYSE ticker the company holds “SAM”) was dubbed after the American patriot from Boston of the same name because of...
