Over the next few years, ongoing celebrations will commemorate the 250th anniversary of America’s existence as an independent nation. There are still two and a half years to go before the U. S. celebrates the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence, but there is still so much to remember and relish concerning what led to that signing and what happened in its aftermath. On Dec. 16, of this year the city of Boston, Massachusetts got the string of celebrations started with the commemoration of the Boston Tea Party.
