Political Cartoon about the British Tea Tax
In this British cartoon, sympathetic to the colonial cause, Prime Minister Lord North, backed by military law, pours tea down the throat of America (portrayed as a woman). A Frenchman and a Spaniard look on with glee, while Brittania weeps. This was engraved for Royal American Magazine.
