Parks Game! Part 8! The game continues...so you must keep on playing!!!!

[RU42]

Sorry if I am breaching protocal - but I see no active questions out there - so I will step in and toss out another multi part question.

In the Magic Kingdom there is a special tree of historical significance.

1. Where is that tree?

2. What is the name of the tree?

3. Who met under it?

4. When?

5. Why?

RU

 

[MickeyBabe]

RU...

Liberty Square

The Liberty Tree

The Sons of Liberty

A lagre oak like those on which the Sons of Liberty hung lanterns after the Boston Tea Party.


Is this what you are looking for?

 

[ryley26]

I BELIEVE THE TREE YOUR LOOKIFOR IS

1 IN THE MAGIC KINGDOM
2 IS THE LIBERTY TREE WHICH IS AN OAK TREE(QUERCUS VIRINIANA)
3THE SONS OF LIBERTY MEET THERE
4 DURING THE REVOLTUTIONARY WAR
5 LANTERNS WERE HUNG FROM THE TREE TO INDICATE DIFFERENT THINGS

MBABE YOUR WAY TO FAST CANNOT TYPE THAT FAST WITH THE ONE FINGER METHOD WHAT HAPPENED TO THE STEELERS

 

[RU42]

MBabe and Ryley have done well.

Indeed it is the MK - Babe was more specific with Liberty Square.

Both got 'The Liberty Tree'

And also both got 'The Sons of Liberty'

However both parts 4 and 5 are open.

#4 - I was looking for a date of the first meeting under the tree. During the war is actually too late.

#5 The lanterns were hung for light. But I was looking for the original reason that the Sons of Liberty met.

MBabe - the Tea Party came later.

RU

PS - Go Broncos!

Professor RU Here is my report....

As day broke on the morning of August 14, 1765, in a grove of elm trees at what today is the intersection of Washington and Essex Streets in Boston, Massachusetts, colonists and British troops and officers alike were greeted by two unflattering effigies: one of Andrew Oliver, a judge, and the other a figure of the Devil peeking out of a huge boot - a slur at Lord Bute of Parliament, whom the colonists blamed for the infamous Stamp Act.


For a number of years after the Stamp Act riot, the Sons of Liberty organized annual celebrations to commemorate the event. In 1768, the city had a parade and a large gathering at the Liberty Tree near Boston Common, where Andrew Oliver, the stamp-distributor elect, had hanged in effigy during the 1765 riot.



Please read said report before the PGSP zoom in and on thier DBMonorail

 

[RU42]

An extra historical A+ report AAQ card to MBabe for the supremely factual report on the Liberty Tree.

The answers I was looking for were:

4 - 1765

5 - Protest the Stamp Act


All answers to my questions are in fact MK related - the information is contained on the plaque by the tree.

[ryley26]

mbabe you crack me up being a history major i love your answer. if you could be more specfic and name the number people there and their names i'd be impressed.

 

[marty3d]

In order to finish up the question(s) on the Liberty Tree at MK:

How many lanterns hang on the Liberty Tree (at MK) at what do they signify?

 

[RU42]

Well, taking a wild guess I would say 13 to signify the 13 original colonies.

RU

 

[marty3d]

Revolutionary AAQ to RU42!

 

[RU42]

According to one man on one of the rides, what is one of our national passions that we might even be humble about?

RU

 

[marty3d]

Oh! Aargh! I know this!! But I can't remember - it's Mark Twain in the American Adventure, isn't it?

 

[RU42]

Frustrating when it is familiar isn't it. Nice try but not Mark Twain.

RU

 

[MickeyBabe]

RU... This does sound so very familiar.... I'll guess that the passion is volunteering?

 

[RU42]

Sorry - the passion is not volunteernig.



RU

 

[CourtasanSatine]

to dream or believe

 

[Granny]

Good morning all!

I'll guess that a national passion for us to be humble about is baseball....especially the way the Cardinals choked that weekend series against the Astros!

If it's not baseball, I'd say the national passion to be humble about is patriotism.

And I'll toss out a Monday morning softball:

What are the two sections of EPCOT called?


How 'bout them Rams! Higgs....looks like the Pats are back too! Not too good of a day for the Pennsylvania teams....sorry MBabe and Jen!

 

[tink85]

Before I run out to class, the two sections of Epcot are Future World and World Showcase

 

[Granny]

And an Experimental Prototype AAQ card to tink for nailing EPCOT's two section names!

 

[Magickndm]

Is it something to do with conserving our national parks RU42?

Look at the pic I took Sat. Jen, doesn't it make you hungry?
