12.22.1775: The North administration passed The Prohibitory Act, blockading colonial trade in an attempt to quell the growing rebellion by force and fear, rather than by reason, cooperation, and attendance to the voice of the people. This turned out to be a poor choice.

Today is the 245th anniversary of the Boston Tea Party. William Pitt, who adorns this 1760s mug in our collection, was an outspoken supporter of the colonies who proposed pulling British troops out of Boston and reopening the port in 1775.

[Monticello @TJMonticello]

Are we open during the government shutdown? Yes! With the exception of Christmas day—the only day of the year we are closed—we are indeed open. Monticello receives no government funding for general operations. Please join us on the mountaintop.

12.9.1775: The Loyalist defeat at the Battle of Great Bridge forced Royal Governor Dunmore et al. to abandon #Virginia. The effects were disproportionate relative to the small number of combatants (less than 300) and short duration (about 5 minutes) of the battle.
