Boston+Tea+Party+209

Nanci Honyotski Boston Tea Party 10/2/09 Fire The event I chose is the Boston Tea Party. I feel that the sons of liberty had no right to dump all the tea into the harbor. I feel this way because almost all the colonists drink tea and wiyth no tea they would have to find something different to drink. I also feel this way because the port got closed and if the port got closed then no goods could come in and no goods could go out. Which meant that no one would be making money. One reason I feel this way about this topic is because alot of the colonists drank tea, so if they dumped all the tea then people wouldn't have anything to drink because the water is dirty and most of the people back then didn't like to drink beer. Also, people who didn't drink tea that much but every now and then they would have a cup of tea they couldn't because there would be no tea to drink. And lastly, with no tea people would have to find something different to drink and depending on your religion it is not easy for you to change. The second reason I feel this way about is because the port got closed and with out that nothing would be happening. Once the government closed the port, no goods could come in or go out of the colonies, in massachusetts.Also because the port got damaged and it would take alot of money and time to fix the port.And lastly since the tea was dumped in the water, the water was not good and you could get people and animals sick. One reason why people might disagree with my main argument is because people might believe that the sons of liberty should have dumped the tea into the harbor.I think this person is wrong because the water could get ruined and kill people from not being safe. Also it would cost alot of time and money to get the tea cleaned up out of the water. This is why I feel this person is wrong about what they said. So all together I feel that the sons of liberty should not have done what they did which was dump the tea into the water. Now people are dead for fighting to have the right to have tea.
