The Gaspee cracked down on smugglers and enforced British customs regulation, particularly the Stamp Act. The ship and her captain, William Duddington, were quickly hated by colonists for their campaign of brutality, harassment, and arbitrary enforcement. When the Gaspee ran around in shallow waters, while in pursuit of a colonist merchant ship, they took immediate action. The colonists, led by John Brown and other local notables, burned Gaspee and wounded her captain. This act of revolt preceded the Boston Tea Party by 18 months.</p>...3113371Burning the Gaspee214252https://www.gandhi.com.mx/burning-the-gaspee-9781614235620/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/3366633/b3e56568-a32c-44e5-b49d-b48584992020.jpg?v=638385272326630000InStockMXN99999DIEbook20129781614235620_W3siaWQiOiJlOTAyMWViYi1iNWJlLTQyZTctYWM5ZS0wYmNmODg1YmYxNmYiLCJsaXN0UHJpY2UiOjI1MiwiZGlzY291bnQiOjM4LCJzZWxsaW5nUHJpY2UiOjIxNCwiaW5jbHVkZXNUYXgiOnRydWUsInByaWNlVHlwZSI6Ildob2xlc2FsZSIsImN1cnJlbmN5IjoiTVhOIiwiZnJvbSI6IjIwMjUtMDktMDNUMTc6MDA6MDBaIiwicmVnaW9uIjoiTVgiLCJpc1ByZW9yZGVyIjpmYWxzZX1d9781614235620_<p>When the Gaspee entered the waters of Narragansett Bay outside Newport in 1772, revolutionary Rhode Island was a hotbed of traders, smugglers and anti-British sentiment.
