SUMMARY:“Enemies to their country?” Concord Town Meeting January 10\, 1774
DESCRIPTION:  \n\n\n250 years ago\, in the wake of the now famous Dec 16\, 1773 “Boston Tea Party\,” the people of Concord took steps that would lead them down a dangerous path toward rebellion. On January 10\, 1774\, Concord took up an article in town meeting to write a response to a letter from the Boston Committee of Correspondence that warned about the evils of the new Tea Act and the need to resist “in a most zealous and determined manner…” In the same meeting\, those in attendance also considered an article “not to consume any tea in our respective families – and if agreed to – then to see if the town will adjudge those who will afterwards sell or use any tea in their families as enemies to their country…” \nWhat did they mean by using the word “enemies”? \nWhat would such a measure do to their community? \nJoin Minute Man NPS Rangers as they unpack this significant moment on the evening of the event 250 years ago . They will lead an interactive discussion about responses to dissent and disagreement at times of political crisis and explore the nature of protest in American History. \nCo-Sponsored By Town of Concord 250 Events\, Minute Man National Historical Park\, the Friends of Minute Man National Park\, and The Concord Free Public Library. \nRegistration is recommended but not required. This event is appropriate for ages 12 and up. \nWEDNESDAY\, JANUARY 10 \n6:00—7:30 PM\nGoodwin ForumMain Library \n\nhttps://concordlibrary.assabetinteractive.com/calendar/enemies-to-their-country-concord-town-meeting-january-10-1774/
