In the North American village of Fishkill, tea was raised. Seeing that a group of women picked up the shop for a speculative tea vending machine and sold tea more expensive than the price set, women were selling at the price set by the U.S. Continental Congress. Instead of donating sales money to the dependent, they handed it over to the New York County Revolutionary Committees. Throughout the United States, several events occurred between 1776 and 1779.
