On this day 250 years ago, the Town of Hampton, New Hampshire adopted Tea Act Resolves that condemned the tea tax as “unreasonable and unconstitutional” and stated that “it must be evident to every one that is not lost to virtue nor devoid of common sense that [the taxes] will be totally destructive to our natural and constitutional rights and liberties, and have a direct tendency to reduce the Americans to a state of actual slavery.”
