1774-2024: Run-Up to A Revolution

It is now 250 years since 1774. We are still two years short for the 250th Anniversary of the formal Declaration of Independence from the British Empire. It was the year of the Coercive, or Intolerable Acts. It was the year after the Boston Tea Party, the year the First Continental Congress met, the year Americans adopted a non-importation of British goods, including "we will wholly discontinue the slave trade.”
