    01 November 1765 - NEW BRITISH TAX IS 'TAXATION WITHOUT REPRESENTATION'

    Boston throws a Tea Party! The new tax forces colonists in British America
    to pay a fee on legal documents and other papers to help fund British
    forces in North America. Colonists vehemently oppose the tax, organizing
    a resistance that will presage the American Revolution.

    ... Limburger smells like a cross between skunk juice and hangover breath.
