Hancock paid and organized it and had Samuel Adams organize the men.They didn't dress up. This is part of the fable. The Boston Tea Party was a protest of the lowering of the cost of the British tea by the government and the East India tea company who had gotten a bail out from the crown in 1773. The smugglers in the colonies found the Dutch tea that they sold was higher in price than the British tea, so they staged the Boston Tea Party and others in harbors in the colonies ( Hamilton was one of the largest smugglers in the colonies and a founding member of the Son's of Liberty). The cost of tea also went as far back as the Navigation Acts and the restricting of trade to and from the colonies passed from 1650-1733. Tea was also taxed in 1767 in the Townsend Acts.

The Liberty Boys, part of the Sons of Liberty, were the group of Georgians who opposed the Stamp Act. The Stamp Act was passed in 1765.
No, He wasn't involved. This is part of the legend that has been told about this event and that is wrong. The British LOWERED the tea tax which made the smuggled Dutch tea higher in cost to buy. John Adams organized the Sons of Liberty...The Sons of Liberty were some of the colonist who raided the ships.

He lead the Boston tea party starting on December 16,1773. The east India tea company had a lot of tea they could not sell so they forced it on the Americans with a large tax thanks the King . Then America got really really angry and started smuggling tea .Then a ship came in and refused to be inspected leading to the tea party.

Yes, he was. He was part of the Sons of Liberty which took charge in this famous protest.
Uncertain. He was the leader of the sons of liberty which took part in the tea party, but to my knowledge none of them owned up to it at the time and after it became safe to do so more people claimed to have taken part than would have fit in the harbor.
The Sons of Liberty were responsible for the protest that saw 3 ships raided and their cargo of tea thrown into the Boston Harbour. This was part of a larger protest against what the American colonists saw as unfair taxation and interference from the British government in colonial affairs.
The Boston Tea party took place on December 16, 1773, as part of a protest against British taxes. During the night, The "Sons of Liberty" were disguised as Mohawk Indians and went onto three ships (Dartmouth, Eleanor, and Beaver). These colonists/patriots dumped the tea into Boston Harbor. On land, other colonists were cheering for them.
