SuperJerk 0 Report post Posted July 4, 2005 You thought it was all about tea? Nope, the American Revolution started because the colonists were desperate for rum. Did anyone EVER say it was about tea? Call me crazy, but I'm still a firm believer that the reason for the American Revolution was that the leaders of the colonies wanted the restoration of self-rule.
