The Sons of Liberty dumped tea into the Boston Harbor because they were against the Stamp Act. They did not want to pay such a high tax for this tea. Tea they where only allowed to buy from British Ships, with a tax they had no say in British Parliament either for or against. This say, is ultimately all the people of the Colonies actually wanted. They did not want to cause any damage to the ships which held the tea. All they wanted to do was dump tea into the harbor. They kept there word and didn't damage the ship or anything else on it besides the tea.

∙ 13y agoSamuel Adams is the name you're looking for, though it is uncertain whether he instigated the destruction of the tea that night, and whether or not he participated.
He certainly was the leader of the Sons of Liberty in Boston, and directed the meeting held that night. When the meeting broke up spontaneously - some of the men put on Indian war paint, and many went to detroy the tea.
