As an American, I'd like to cosign this. We celebrated nearly 100 of these while owning people. We celebrate now with 10's of thousands of innocent people in prison performing labor for practically free.

Probably worth noting that the people most bothered by the 4th are the veterans without proper access to mental health care to deal with the PTSD it triggers.

Happy 4th!

There are so many good things I could post here this year.. but I'll reference my current sig:

In late 1773, there was another event after the Boston Tea Party. Another ship with tea came to Philadelphia, but was not allowed to unload the tea and eventually left. A month before it landed, a rather humorous broadside was circulated-

[1773, Nov. 27] 25
TO THE Delaware Pilots.

WE took the Pleasure, some Days since, of kindly admonishing you to do your Duty; if perchance you should meet with the ( Tea, ) Ship Polly, Captain Ayres; a Three Decker which is hourly expected.

We have now to add, that Matters ripen fast here; and that much is expected from those Lads who meet with the Tea Ship. —There is some Talk of a handsome Reward for the Pilot who gives the first good Account of her. —How that may be, we cannot for certain determine: But ALL agree, that Tar and Feathers will be his Portion, who pilots her into this Harbour. And we will answer for ourselves, that, whoever is committed to us, as an Offender against the Rights of America, will experience the utmost Exertion of our Abilities; as THE COMMITTEE FOR TARRING AND FEATHERING.

P. S. We expect you will furnish yourselves with Copies of the foregoing and following Letter; which are printed for this Purpose, that the Pilot who meets with Captain Ayres may favor him with a Sight of them.

Committee of Taring and Feathering.

TO Capt. AYRES, Of the Ship POLLY, on a Voyage from London to Philadelphia.

SIR,

WE are informed that you have, imprudently, taken Charge of a Quantity of Tea; which has been sent out by the India Company, under the Auspices of the Ministry, as a Trial of American Virtue and Resolution.

Now, as your Cargo, on your Arrival here, will most assuredly bring you into hot water; and as you are perhaps a Stranger to these Parts, we have concluded to advise you of the present Situation of Affairs in Philadelphia —that, taking Time by the Forclock, you may stop short in your dangerous Errand—secure your Ship against the Rafts of combustible Matter which may be set on Fire, and turned loose against her; and more than all this, that you may preserve your own Person, from the Pitch and Feathers that are prepared for you.

In the first Place, we must tell you, that the Pennsylvanians are, to a Man, passionately fond of Freedom; the Birthright of Americans; and at all Events are determined to enjoy it.

That they sincerely believe, no Power on the Face of the Earth has a Right to tax them without their Consent.

That in their Opinion, the Tea in your Custody is designed by the Ministry to enforce such a Tax, which they will undoubtedly oppose; and in so doing, give you every possible Obstruction.

We are nominated to a very disagreeable, but necessary Service.—To our Care are committed all Offenders against the Rights of America; and hapless is he, whose evil Destiny has doomed him to suffer at our Hands.

You are sent out on a diabolical Service; and if you are so foolish and obstinate as to compleat your Voyage; by bringing your Ship to Anchor in this Port; you may run such a Gauntlet, as will induce you, in your last Moments, most heartily to curse those who have made you the Dupe of their Avarice and Ambition.

What think you Captain, of a Halter around your Neck—ten Gallons of liquid Tar decanted on your Pate—with the Feathers of a dozen wild Geese laid over that to enliven your Appearance?

Only think seriously of this—and fly to the Place from whence you came—fly without Hesitation—without the Formality of a Protest—and above all, Captain Ayres let us advise you to fly without the wild Geese Feathers.

Your Friends to serve Philadelphia, Nov. 27, 1773 THE COMMITTEE as before subscribed


Quintessential American right there.

Aye. The right to freedom of speech largely includes the right to blatantly misrepresent your intentions or actions to people you don't like, at least in the general public, and largely in the corporate world. I think it's unfair to moderate someone for pointing to that, even if not explicitly.
I am free because I know that I alone am morally responsible for everything I do.
