I will have less of a presence on The Torrid Tribe Community. We have very little activity here. This is a sign to me that members have found other social media resources that they are spending more time in. I am happy to see less censorship on social media in general. I started The Torrid Tribe 4 years ago when we were in a state of censorship and lockdowns. It was a difficult time and this was a haven and sanctuary for so many.

I will be lightly posting things here to give you all content to see. This community will always be open to everyone and will resurrect to its full capacity if subscribers show they want it fully operational again with full time administration.

Thank you for being a part of this community. Sending each of you hugs.

The Boston Tea Party was the culmination of an ongoing debate about whether the British government had the authority to tax the American colonies without their consent. Britain had previously imposed taxes on imported East India Company tea, which raised the price of this tea and caused many Americans to purchase tax-free smuggled tea instead. In response, Britain gave tax breaks to the East India Company, while continuing to levy the tea tax on the American colonies.

These changes made East India Company tea cheaper in America than the smuggled tea, despite the taxes. However, patriot leaders objected to this on principle, arguing that Britain was trying to get Americans to accept the tax by bribing them with inexpensive tea. The philosophical ideals of “no taxation without ...
