Interesting that Dec 15th and 16th have such impact on our freedoms today. We need to embrace these days and talk to out family and friends about them.

Bostonians rejected royal authority, throwing 45 tons of tea into harbor, leading directly to American Revolution 16 months later.

What is cool is this event is recreated every year but honestly I don't recall seeing any coverage of it.

Dec16, 1791 the Bill of Rights was Ratified as part of our Constitution as permanent rights of freedom.
