Hmmm..."No taxation without representation"...and the willingness to go to war with the government to avoid that taxation. They weren't liberals or conservatives. They were radicals.

Army Veteran The "taxation" in question was the tea tax. An interesting FYI about the tea tax is that the British did away with the tea tax altogether to run Samuel Adams out of the tea business. By doing away with the tax, Britain could sell their tea to the colonists cheaper than Adams could. This was the reason he and his band of ruffians dressed up as Indians and threw Britain's tea into Boston Harbor - an event we remember as the Boston Tea Party. -
