The Boston Tea Party Anyone Care for Salt-water Tea' When the Boston Tea Party comes to mind, many people think of the ship and the tea and patriotism in the 18th century. No one seems to think of the many different viewpoints that were brought up from that moment to the viewpoints from numerous textbooks over the years. Some thought highly of the patriots and their actions; some, however; were against the acts of colonists. Although the Patriots of the colonies viewed the Boston Tea Party as a rude awakening to England, the English viewed it as an unnecessary action toward them. The main three viewpoints in this story of rebellion are all different. First, the Patriot/Sons of Liberty viewpoint was that it was an acceptable action to represent thoughts of the taxation of tea and other goods. It wasn’t like that for England, as they saw it as an unnecessary action toward England; they (colonists) needed obedience. And finally, the textbook was mostly neutral, seeing both sides having justified actions. The text saw it as a clumsy way of getting the colonists’ points across. These viewpoints all had their justifiable reasons; who was the right one' All of the hassle began almost a decade before the colonists, tea, colonies, chidsey, england, tax, english, act, boston, one, wanted, much, different, liberty, didn’t, acts, viewpoints, view, thought, sons, protest, parliament, out, however, even, around, way, war, viewed, taxes, taxation, sugar, since, ships, right, party
