This information is from AI experiment. I was unable to attend the November meeting of Buford Chapter of DAR
In November 1774, the Yorktown Tea Party took place and the Continental Congress called for a boycott of British goods.
The Yorktown Tea Party
On November 7, 1774, local residents boarded the British ship Virginia and dumped two half-chests of tea into the York River.
The tea had been imported despite a boycott of English goods.
The boycott was an attempt to pressure Parliament to repeal tax laws and regulations.
