At the same time as period as here in the states.
Where King George made his biggest mistake of Raising the Tax on Tea to 
high on the colonist. I bet he later regretted that, This could have 
been a very large part of the British Empire today. But what is most 
ironic is those Rebels then in the colony where previously English 
subjects that fought against the British .
And the rest is history.
And we all lived happily ever after.

I wish the people of Brazil a "Happy Independence Day" .
