Answer:

He made a reference to the Boston Tea Party.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hamilton speaks the sentence quoted above in response to the bookkeeper named Samuel Seabury who states that he is against starting a war against the united kingdom, because he believed that a war would only cause chaos in the country and the death of many people. However, Hamilton believed that the UK was already causing chaos and bloodshed, the Boston tea party was already an example of this.
