THE TRUTH about American History, July 4th with Josie

He was taxing individual pieces of paper, okay? He was completely insane.

So this gave rise to the Sons of Liberty and the Sons of Liberty organized protests and riots and Boston Tea Party and all of this.

They were the big organizers.

But what really did it was the Townshend Acts.

Okay.

Before he dropped the Townshend Acts, King George sent something like 2000 redcoats to occupy Boston.

And this is because with the Sugar Act and the Stamp Act, there were riots and he wanted to quell those before they happened.

So by the time the Townshend Acts were released, Massachusetts was in a police state.

Now, What did that mean? It meant that there was like maybe one red coat for every nine colonists.

It was heavily, heavily police state.

So they continued to have their protests after protests after protests.

Now, in February of 1770, there was just another protest, right? And this was happening in front of the store of a man named Theo Phyllis Lilly.

And Theo Phyllis Lilly was a loyalist, and he was still kind of running his store, even though the colonists were really opposing it.

He was like, whatever, I'm a dirty Tory, I'm going to run my store, and there's nothing you can do about it.

So anyway, there was an informant named Ebenezer Richardson, and he was like kind of the town snitch, and everybody knew it, nobody liked him, right? So he would hang out in front of Theophilus Lestor, and he would report colonists, And nobody liked him.

So anyway, it's February 22nd and having this normal protest in front of the store and Theo Phyllis, or sorry, Ebenezer shows up and somebody had put a sign up in the window that said informant.

And he got really mad and he lost his shit.

And then the colonists started like throwing sticks and dirt at him.

And he got so mad.

He ran to his house and he grabbed a gun and the colonists were still throwing dirt at him and everything.

And his house was like right next to the store.

So from inside of his house, he shot into the crowd twice and he shot two boys.

One of them died.

That was the first death of the revolution.

We hear that it's Crispin Attucks, the freed slave, because everything has to be about slavery and told through the Marxist land to make some more pressure.
