The Boston Massacre, where 5 colonists were killed, predated the Boston Tea Party by three years.

No colonists died as a direct result of the Tea Party: https://www.bostonteapartyship.com/the-aftermath

Tea party #2 is what most people reference, not realizing they dont know about the first one. Just FYI

The Boston Tea Party is the main one taught in school, which was the first that I'm aware of (Dec 1773). Another "tea party" followed in Chestertown, MD a few months after (May 1774). Was there another that preceded the Boston one?

There was a previous BOSTON tea party. The popularized one was #2

The crazy thing is that the Swamp, both Dems and Republicans, referred to us as Britain yesterday. They want to overthrow the American revolution.

I almost hope they're stupid enough to try and impeach him in the next 2 weeks.

Horrible analogy. There's a reason Adams defended them in court and most walked. Boston Massacre is very analogous to what happened to Rittenhouse. Attacked physically by a crowd out of nowhere and then the crowd pikachu face's when fired back upon in self defense.

My post is talking about the Boston Massacre and Kenosha...not DC.
