In "Memoir" I found it interesting that in the last three paragraphs Hewes talks about how the citizens went out the morning after they raided the ships and beat the tea floating on the water to a point where it was useless.

| + | In the "March 22, 1775 Speech to Parlaiment", Burke gives a fairly descriptive breakdown of the colonies and how each is based on different principles.

Since the colonies weren't really fighting for a common goal, Did the regions pride themselves on their differences? Lauren Hicks | ||
