Discussion - Boston Tea Party hera_rises May 23 2007, 22:03:48 UTC

A week outside what many of you know as Christmas, a group calling themselves the Sons of Liberty, approached three British ships docked in the harbor and dumped about ninety thousand pounds of tea overboard. Does anyone know why this was done?

Robin raised his hand.

"Yes, Robin?"

She still wasn't used to a tiny frog as a student. That talked. She hid her discomfort fairly well, however.

Re: Debrief - Mischief Managed notafairmaiden May 23 2007, 22:22:51 UTC

"Is that who we were dressed up as?"

Re: Debrief - Mischief Managed hera_rises May 24 2007, 01:21:48 UTC

"That was who the colonists attempted to dress up as." Laura smiled. "Do you think you pulled it off?"
