Product Information
Between the Boston Massacre in 1770 and the Boston Tea Party in 1773-a period historians refer to as the lull -a group of prominent Rhode Islanders rowed out to His Majesty's schooner Gaspee,which had run aground six miles south of Providence while on an anti-smuggling patrol. After threatening and shooting its commanding officer, the raiders looted the vessel and burned it to the waterline. Despite colony-wide sympathy for the June 1772 raid, neither the government in Providence r authorities in London could let this pass without a response. As a result, a Royal Commission of Inquiry headed by Rhode Island goverr Joseph Wanton zealously investigated the incident. In The Burning of His Majesty's Schooner Gaspee: An Attack on Crown Rule Before the American Revolution, historian Steven Park reveals that what started out as a customs battle over the seizure of a prominent citizen's rum was soon transformed into the spark that re-ignited Patriot fervor. The significance of the raid was underscored by a fiery Thanksgiving Day sermon given by a little-kwn Baptist minister in Boston.His inflammatory message was reprinted in several colonies and was one of the most successful pamphlets of the pre-Independence period. The commission turned out to be essentially a sham and made the administration in London look weak and ineffective. In the wake of the Gaspee affair, Committees of Correspondence soon formed in all but one of the original thirteen colonies, and later East India Company tea would be defiantly dumped into Boston Harbor.

- l***s (518)- Évaluations laissées par l'acheteur.6 derniers moisAchat vérifiéI saw this movie on eBay, and this seller had best value - best price, new item and free postage. Quick processing and good communication - informed of posting, delivery - arrived on the earliest days of the estimated delivery dates, via Aramex in vacuumed pack. No damage during transit and the DVD disc looked new as per ad. I am very happy with this purchase and very happy with this seller. Thank you.
- a***7 (6)- Évaluations laissées par l'acheteur.Dernier moisAchat vérifiéOrdered on the 25th, left Melbourne on the 23rd, arrived Midday 25th. Had to message the seller so I knew who the shipping agent was so I could track it. Well packaged, prompt service and having done online purchases before and being disappointed with tracking, cannot praise Direct Freight Express enough for moving the item through the processes while they had it. I'm sure this textbook will help me a lot in my course I'm about to start.
