Yo, peeps, let's take a quick trip back in time. The year was 1773, and there was some major drama going down in Boston. The British were all like, “Hey, Colonies, you gotta pay taxes on this tea,” and the peeps in Boston were super salty about it. Like, “No way, fam. We didn’t ask for this!”
So, the Bostonians, led by some rad dudes like Samuel Adams, hatched a plan that was literally *spilling the tea*. They dressed up as Native Americans to yeet any connection to themselves, and on the night of December 16, 1773, they boarded three British ships in Boston Harbor. They were all, “Not today, sis,” and dumped 342 chests of tea into the water. That’s like over 90,000 pounds of tea - the original mic drop.
This tea party wasn’t about sipping from little cups, though. It was a major clapback against the British and their taxes. The Brits got super triggered and came at the colonies with more laws and punishments, which the peeps called the “Intolerable Acts”.
This whole tea-tossing, rule-rebelling thing sparked some serious hype, and the colonies started to get woke. Fast forward a bit, and this beef with the British turned into the American Revolution. The rest, my friends, is history.
So, in short, the Boston Tea Party was like when you're done with someone's nonsense, and you unfollow, block, and delete them, but on a historical scale. It was the Colonies hitting the British with that "Thank u, next". ✌️ #RevolutionaryUnfollow
