It’s about time this happened. We have been thinking about this for a very long time. If I must say so, the British Empire brought this upon themselves. What a glorious thing seeing their tea in the harbor. It’s the start of a liberation for us. They have oppressed us more and more over the past decades, and now we’ve had enough. How brilliant of us to dress up as Indians and sneak upon their ships! They are so unaware, unconscious and ignorant that we were unrecognized. It’s their fault that they didn’t think anything of Indians going on their ships. How smart do you have to be to see some people going on to your ships and not think something of it? We have been discontent and it was only a matter of time. Now that the deed is done, power is in our hands. We shall not submit and are ready to defend our honor if need be. This is the first step towards independence. Our actions influenced others to do the same having their own “tea parties” along the coast of the Atlantic, unifying colonists from different backgrounds. Essentially, making us all the same.

You may call it ignorance, but we call it trust. How foolish is it to watch merchant ships every night to make sure our own citizens don't attack it? You all dressed like savages and like savages you all have become.
