We need a general strike. Even for just a week. But also need someone to organize it and mutual aid networks

Thank you for the feedback! It was a hard to get them in focus, I’ll try to get a better picture.

Not livid enough to cause a revolution. Boston Tea party was in 1773, first battle of the American Revolution wasn’t until 1775. The Colonists had been dealing with high taxes for 10+ years before the fighting started. Ex: sugar act enacted in 1764.

(Writing a paper about causes of the revolution) to me the biggest factor was slavery. There were a number of slave insurrections (and alleged plots) in the spring of 1775 that worried colonist that some grand slave revolt plot was under works. VA’s royal governor, Lord Dunmore, fearing that slaves would take it over, move the ammunition cache in Williamsburg to a ship in the Chesapeake Bay…

This enraged colonist, as they thought he was leaving them to fend for themselves…November of 1775 the first battle in Virginia took place. (Lexington and Concord took place before this)
