The colonists were against the Tea Act of 1773 which removed taxes and tariffs from the Dutch East India Tea. They saw this as an effort to ruin colonial business. So while boxes of tea were resting on a cargo ship in Boston Harbor, the Sons of Liberty, dressed as Mohawk natives, climbed aboard the ship and tossed all the tea into Boston Harbor.
