Manage episode 440438395 series 2792952
The Sons of Liberty exulted over the Boston Tea Party, but they also would have been familiar with the proverb "he who dances must pay the piper." The "piper" in this case turned out to be General Thomas Gage who arrived in Boston in May of 1774 to replace Thomas Hutchinson as Royal Governor of Massachusetts. With Gage arrived several regiments of British soldiers and several punitive acts of Parliament. Join Professor Allison as he narrates the British imperial response to American defiance of parliament.
