Welcome to Season III of History, Politics and Beer. We start of this season with a great discussion on the Declaration of Independence.Matt Shockey and Jeff Hudson tarafından oluşturuldu

Shortly after war broke out in the countryside in 1775, the Battle of Bunker Hill raged. The colonists organized an army and forced British soldiers to evacuate Boston in March 1776. The colonies then approved the Declaration of Independence, capping off 10 ten years of resistance. Key Player: Benjamin Church Ye Olde Tavern Tours "Boston in the Ame…

General Gage tried a third failed powder raid in April 1775. British troops marched towards Concord and encountered local militia in Lexington. This standoff led to the “shot heard round the world” and the Battles of Lexington and Concord. Key Player: Thomas Gage Ye Olde Tavern Tours Brooke's book: "Boston in the American Revolution" Videos…

Parliament passed several laws in 1774 called the Coercive Acts as punishment for the Boston Tea Party. The laws inspired action in the countryside and a meeting in Philadelphia. General Gage began a new strategy to shut down colonial resistance by seizing colonial powder stores. Key Player: Paul Revere Ye Olde Tavern Tours "Boston in the American …

Things quieted down in Boston from 1770 to 1773 until Parliament passed another tax—the Tea Act. Bostonians targeted the Loyalists who were charged with enforcing it. When that didn’t get results, rebels revolted in a unique way: dumping the tea into the harbor. Key Player: Richard Clarke Ye Olde Tavern Tours "Boston in the American Revolution" Vid…

Trouble was mounting between redcoats and rebels in Boston in 1770. Within 10 days, a British customs official killed a young boy, a huge fight between Bostonians and soldiers broke out, and redcoats shot and killed 5 people, in what would become known as the Boston Massacre. Key Player: Joseph Warren Ye Olde Tavern Tours "Boston in the American Re…

Because of the increasingly violent mobs in Boston, Parliament sent 2,000 British troops to occupy and control the town. Townspeople struggled to live alongside the troops, their customs, and their debauchery. The tension ultimately resulted in a standoff. Key Player: Samuel Adams Ye Olde Tavern Tours Brooke's book: "Boston in the American Revoluti…

The cycle of Parliamentary taxation and resistance in Boston continued through 1768. One prominent merchant tries to get around the latest British tax by smuggling alcohol, but gets caught. Boston rebels riot in a spectacular fashion and Parliament responds with a heavy hand. Key Player: John Hancock Ye Olde Tavern Tours "Boston in the American Rev…

Without much resistance against the Sugar Act, Parliament passed the Stamp Act in 1765. This time, Boston reacted violently, with two riots breaking out against top crown officials and their homes. Key Player: Thomas Hutchinson Ye Olde Tavern Tours "Boston in the American Revolution" Videos Craft Beer Cellar…

To decrease the British Empire’s debt, Parliament passed the Sugar Act in 1764. This law, and its tax on molasses, will disproportionately affect Massachusetts because it was home to the most prolific rum producers in the North American colonies.

In 1763, Boston and its residents loved to visit taverns, drink alcohol, fight in the streets, and debate politics. But the French and Indian War had just ended and an indebted British Empire was looking to tax their North American colonies, making life much more difficult.
