As a History teacher this is so helpful. I am going to play it on my Smart Board and pause when you ask questions. Thanks!

[Mr. Mills]

Awesome! When looking at Paul Revere's, point out the women praying, and the random dog!

Very good clip. Most peoples forget that a national founding myth is the result of interests. May it be Romolus and Remus, the Boston "massacre" or the Boston tea party. The patriots of the 1770's had been masters of propaganda. I remember seeing the tea party in the muppet show in my childhood . Classic with the alleged tax raise that prevented the waterfront people from drinking TEA! No word of smugglers profits lost by the EIC monopol with cheap tea. I would be happy to pay Georges tax rates

[Mr. Mills]

Well said, they were actually protesting the sugar tax as well, which is where the most popular drink rum was made from, but they would not dump the stuff needed to make alcohol off the ship, tea on the other hand....

So you are saying this was a riot against the armed government by people armed with blunt weapons. But they are racist because one black guy was there and they failed to recognize that. Or maybe they just saw a tyrannical government, and didn't really care about the race of the people fighting against it. You know, it seems to me the ones they were fighting against were ALL white. But keep on with your stupid analysis. Which seems to be based on race. Which in itself is racist.
