Everything Is Connected
That cup of coffee that you drink every morning is more than just an energy booster. It is also a very important part of history because without it, it is necessary to travel back to the Boston tea party in December 16, 1773, when America was under the rule of the British. The incident saw a group of American patriots dumping 342 chest of tea, supplied by the East India Company, into the sea. It was an act of defiance against the Englishs decision to impose an unauthorised tax on tea. As a sign of protest, members of the public also abstained from tea, turning to coffee instead. According to history, it is within the walls of coffee houses throughout New York, Philadelphia and Boston that the American Revolution was planned.
