When Washington would call his soldiers, did he say "pack it up skittle squad" while John and Alexander made-out in the corner as Lafayette did splits or did I just make it up

Benjamin Franklin, 1778, organizing important military treaties with the French government in a coonskin cap while getting laid 10 times a day:

The French: this freak is incredible, give him all the money

The Americans: fucking fabulous, here have a promotion

John Adams: *gnawing his own leg off in the corner in indignation*

Actually...

what if the founding fathers were in hazbin hotel

History fans be like: "Yeah that's my scrimblo babygirl blorbo"

And the "babygirl" in question is a decaying, sad, middle aged man who's lived through the horrors of the world.

Ok history nerds, putting this question out to the populace because I'm running into some dead ends here and commerce isn't my strong suit.

So we know that the Boston Tea Party happened because the cargo on the tea ships had to be unloaded and paid for during a specific time frame. People in other towns just had the tea sent back to England, but in Massachusetts the governor convinced his literal nepotism babies to prevent that. The idea is that the tea party proceeded to destroy the tea within minutes of the deadline before...what? What was the actual consequence of the tea still being on there at midnight? Would the ship leave? Would some government official take the tea? If so, who would pay the tax then? Do people get sold the stuff by force? There's so much general language of "land the tea or else" without much clarity of what the "or else" actually was.
