On this day 250 years ago in the Revolution — February 7, 1774

On this day 250 years ago the Boston Evening Post published Resolutions from the Town of Concord that resolved that anyone who continued to buy, sell, or use East India Company’s tea would be “for the future deemed unfriendly and enemical to the happy constitution of this country” and that anyone attempting to import the tea would be treated “as enemies to their country and with contempt and detestation.” The Resolutions also thanked the Patriots of Boston for the “rational measures” they had taken to preserve the colony’s rights and liberties.
