When the men of the Boston Tea Party threw tea into Boston Harbor they did not first shoot the men of the merchant ships and the dock workers

How do you know that? Because it didn't make it in the story?

Don't forget. The victor writes the history.

The Colonies did not prevail until many years after the Tea Party. Also, we didn't conquer the British. In other words, they were able to retain history of the events. You're quote would apply much more to a people who were conquered.

That is such a dumb ass statement. You've been around on FR a long time and what you said is stupid. Shame on you.
