Our Forefathers Fought for a Principle - There is No Fight in Us
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a powerful and thought-provoking illustration that contrasts two significant moments in American history, the Boston Tea Party of 1773 and the economic hardships of 1907. The top left scene depicts the Spirit of 1776, with a family about to enjoy their tea, but the father's anger is palpable as he declares his refusal to pay the hated tax on tea, leading to the iconic act of rebellion in Boston Harbor. The family's resolve to stand up for their principles is a testament to the courage and determination of our forefathers. In stark contrast, the bottom right scene, titled The Spiritless 1907, shows a family gathered around the dinner table, with the grandfather expressing his disappointment over the high prices of beef. Despite their financial struggles, they continue to consume the necessary food, reflecting the resilience and adaptability of the American spirit. The disgruntled patrons exiting a market in the bottom left corner, counting their change, serve as a reminder of the economic challenges faced by many during this time. The illustration, dated November 13, 1773 and 1907, highlights the unwavering spirit of the American people, both in their fight for freedom and their ability to endure hardships. Our forefathers' commitment to their principles serves as an inspiration for us today, reminding us of the importance of standing up for what we believe in, even in the face of adversity.
