Question

Why do you think the Boston Tea Party (and others) stands out in American memory? What about the incident brings a feeling of pride to Americans? If not pride what other emotions might come out? This is one of the most remembered events in our early history, what about it makes it easy to remember or stand a part from say the French and Indian War? Do you think it had as major an impact as we (present day Americans) think it did?

the answer has to be descriptive and no less than 200 words thanks!

Answer 1

Well, the Boston Tea party and other events happened before the American Revolution. Us Americans hated the British and wanted to have independence(Britain controlled us), so we fought for our freedom. This includes the War of 1812. After that, we wanted to expand, so Manifest Destiny kicks in. Manifest Destiny is our belief to spread from sea to shining sea.
