Interesting and Fun Facts About the Quotation Hancock’s Historic Moment: John Hancock, a wealthy merchant and key figure in the American Revolution, spoke the words "Let every man do what is right in his own eyes" during a heated meeting at the Old South Meeting House on December 16, 1773. As moderator, he inspired over 5,000 colonists to take action, leading to the Boston Tea Party that very night—a protest against the Tea Act and British taxation without representation. A Biblical Allusion: Hancock’s quote is an allusion to Judges 21:25 in the Bible, which reads, "In those days there was no king in Israel: every man did that which was right in his own eyes." By invoking this, Hancock cleverly framed the colonists’ rebellion as a moral stand for self-governance, free from British rule. Penguins as Patriots: While penguins weren’t part of the original Boston Tea Party, they’re a fitting symbol on this shirt! Penguins are known for their resilience in harsh tarif... sorry, environments, much like the colonists who braved British retaliation after the protest. Fun fact: some participants in the Tea Party disguised themselves as Mohawk warriors to symbolise American freedom and conceal their identities. The Aftermath: Hancock’s words and the Tea Party itself sparked outrage in Britain, leading to the Coercive Acts of 1774, which further united the colonies against British rule. John Adams called the event "the most magnificent movement of all," marking it as a pivotal step towards the American Revolution.
