This July Fourth, our team went searching for where "No Kings" actually started — and found a story that was covered up for decades and still isn't in most history books. In 1772, a year and a half before the Boston Tea Party, a group of colonists rowed out under a moonless sky, shot a British officer, burned a Royal Navy ship to the waterline — and when the King demanded names and offered a fortune for them, an entire colony refused to talk. Rhode Island's Governor, Senator Sheldon Whitehouse, and local historians tell us the real story — including where it's been hiding in plain sight for 250 years.
