DESCRIPTION:

"Come and Take It!" was a rallying cry during the American Revolution and later turned into the motto of the Tea Party.

Tradition states the words were first spoken by Revolutionary War hero Lt. Col. John Mc Intosh, commander of Fort Morris at Sunbury. Mc Intosh shouted the challenge: "Come and take it!" to the British fleet arriving on November 25, 1778.

The ships sought to force the fort to surrender, and a standoff resulted in the British leaving temporarily. However, they returned in January 1779 and managed to take the fort then.

Come and Take It! has come to epitomize American chutzpah and dogged defiance. This event is one of two Come and Take it Days, with the first based upon an event in 1835.

The phrase "Come and Take It!" was first used in 480 BC in the Battle of Thermopylae by King Leonidas of Sparta against the Persians.
