Tuesday, September 27, 1774. Economic rebellion.

The First Continental Congress resolved:

That from and after the first day of December next, there be no importation into British America from Great Britain or Ireland, of any goods, wares or merchandizes whatsoever, or from any other place, of any such goods, wares or merchandizes, as shall have been exported from Great-Britain or Ireland; and that no such goods, wares or merchandizes, imported after the said first day of December next, be used or purchased.

Oh oh. 

Up to 1,500 Cape Code residents gathered in front of Barnstable’s Courthouse in Massachusetts to protest what became the Intolerable Acts.
