Southeast are rich in memories Of the War Of
the Revolution and Of the events leading up to
and succeeding It. Boston, more than any other

die Of American Liberty Faneui hall, Old

1773 several articles among them tea, were still
burdened by heavy taxes The colonists finally
refused to allow any cargo of tea even to be
landed at some Of the ports. Vessels were i'm
medately sent back with their cargoes un
touched. In December, 1773, three British ships
landed at Boston and the royal governor at

of the popular will The Boston Tea Party"
