The Tea-Party: The Origins Of The Tea Party Movement

Being terrified is the thing that keeps hope out of our lives. It is important to not be scared because if we are, then we will have no hope in winning and we will not win. If we just believe that we can win and not give up then we will have our victory. We could also get someone to come and help out in the war. Many people don’t want to work because they are too sick. Since there are so many soldiers who are sick George Washington doesn’t have enough people in his army. I will re-enlist because we are getting support from the country, I am hopeful, and there aren’t enough people to fight. Valley Forge is not looking very terrible and I am only re-enlisting because I still have hope.

Have you ever wondered what it would be like if an iconic moment in history had never happened? Although The Boston Tea Party cost Great Britain a great deal of important resources it was a necessary event for the Colonists to get their freedom. The British Parliament passed the Intolerable Acts to punish the Colonies for dumping British goods in the harbor. The Boston Tea Party also paved the way for the Revolutionary War. Therefore the American way of life would be extremely different today had the Boston Tea Party never happened.

In the 1774, the first Continental Congress was put together. The Congress was a meeting of delegates from all except one of the thirteen colonies. They all met to discuss what shall be done about the “Intolerable Acts” that was being passed as a response for the” Boston Tea Party”. The meeting elected fifty-six delegates from the colonies except Georgia. Georgia did not want to upset Britain because they required help from Britain about Georgia’s Native American problem. However, some delegates that attended the first Congress were Patrick Henry, George Washington, John Adams, and John Jay. Even though the First Continental Congress was indeed important as well, historical it was still not as significant as the Second Continental Congress.

Out of all the effects of the Populist party, the effect with the greatest impact is the idea that the downtrodden could organize and have political impact. The very recent example of this was the rise of the Tea Party in this last election. Unfairness and unaccomplished goals can lead a faction of a group to rise from the ashes and spread like a wildfire.

The boston tea party Would be considered an act of terrorism by today’s standards under the patriot act. The boston tea party was an event in which colonists, angered by the high tax on tea, hijacked a british ship and dumped nearly 600,000 pounds of tea overboard into the boston harbor (Wikipedia.com). The patriot act states that the definition of terrorism can be classified by 3 things :threatening, conspiring, or attempting to commit any crime using a dangerous device or weapon for something greater than “mere personal gain”, hijack any vehicle,or hurting or killing any protected persons. On these conditions, the boston tea party could be considered an act of terrorism due to the patriot laws. These offenses were hijacking a vehicle, hurt

Texas the second most populous state of USA had its political development since its independence from Mexico. Because they were represented as an independent nation, the Republic of Texas, there weren 't any sort of political activities or parties. But during the 18th century, the democratic party came into existence in Texas. They were the most dominant political party and held thier reign until 20th century. They rarley had any competitors against them during those times, sos thye had their control over 60 years of a centruy and rarely had challenges against The Republican party or occasionally against thierd parties known as The Populists.

Before 1834, the Tea Party was mostly referred to as “the destruction of the tea” amongst the elites (Young 156). This was also what it was called in printed documents of that time. The term “tea party” was not included into any published works until 1834 and 1835 when two biographers included the term in the title of their biographies of George Robert Twelves Hewes (Young 156). This was the beginning of the evolution of the meaning of the event that took place on December 16, 1773.

Prior to the American revolution, America was a cluster of colonies mainly ruled by the British government. Additionally, tea was very popular than coffee in the colonies at that time. Back in 1773, the British government ceased the Townshend Act on its American colonies but the Tea act; which was not accepted by the residents of the colonies as they still had to pay taxes to consume tea. This led to the famous incident, the so called “Boston Tea Party”, which inevitably led to the American revolution. Since then Americans switched to coffee instead of tea, as tea was distributed to the world from England via importing it from India and China. On the other hand, in England, tea is still more than coffee due to many reasons. England was the

When looking at the social and political changes that took place during the early American colonies you can see a steady progression towards ideologies that would lead to the Revolution. When you have different levels of government being put in place by the states depending upon their needs, where rural areas had different court systems than more urban areas, you see a level of independence for governance that the colonists began to see the benefit of having, separate from the rule of the Crown. To counter this increase in independence. the Crown implemented ever changing political positions that could be assigned to those who were loyal to the Crown and the social hierarchy that was prevalent in Britain at the time. These actions of corruption

The tea party movement has heavily shaped the policy outcomes and election outcome over the past 6 or seven years when it was started in 2009 following president Obamas election. I am interested in unearthing the reason this movement has happened and further how they can negatively impact the Republican Party. Although the movement may be beneficial in some areas I believe that it has collectively splintered the Republican Party regressing any party progress and derailing its common interests.

The Solano County Tea Party is known to have essay contests where students who respond to a prompt have a chance to earn half a thousand dollars. This year’s essay contest prompt was about the Separation of Powers and its importance today in our society. In addition to talking about the Separation of Powers itself and its definition, you also have to use modern day examples showing its importance. And it all has to be within 500 words. For something as urgent and controversial as this, 500 words is not enough to express this.

Who actually is the Tea Party activists? They are generally older than 45, mostly white, and “comfortably” middle class, “They’re often in their sixties and seventies, so they’ve had a chance to own a house and accumulate some savings.” National surveys indicate that men make up 55 percent of the Tea Party, but women tend to be more active in local groups, often leading them. Many Tea Partiers own small businesses, or did before they retired, they frequently describe themselves as “proud capitalists” who have worked hard all their lives. Grass-roots Tea Partiers make a real distinction between things that go to people like themselves, who have earned them, and the kinds of government spending…that [go] to low-income people or young people or immigrants,” whom they see as undeserving

Before our founders contrived our Constitution, civilians have always distrusted those in higher powers with their money. As early as the Boston Tea Party in 1773, civilians wanted to implement a system to where their opinions were considered. Therefore, according to Shafritz, Russell, and Borick, they stated that, “Taxation and public spending must be voted for; they must have, in effect, the stamp of democratic approval” (2013, p. 473) However, in present day, this is not the way our government operates. Kettl states, “The Constitution explicitly requires that all tax measures originate in the House of Representatives, the body that the founders believed would be the “people’s house,” to make sure that citizens had a voice in their own

The Victorian host had to have the perfectly proper tea party. The tea party was never “just a tea party” to the Victorian women. The party could mean their whole reputation. If they wore or said the wrong thing, or showed up at the wrong time then their reputation was gone. That is why the host always made it clear about the time place and appropriate apparel.
