Yes, that is what I did.

Daily reminder that Boston Tea Party was illegal. If those people were properly punished then US wouldn't have got independence, and the world would've been a much better place.

  • Britain losing America as a colony was a major fail. If they had properly dealt with those people who had participated it would have slowed down the movement of American gaining its independence. It serves as a warning not to let small crime fester as those people can cause larger problems through network effects.

  • I tend to agree, but worth considering that Britain would probably not have banned slavery when it did if it still controlled the southern US.
