∙ 14y agoIf you mean the Boston tea party no one. It was an event that happened spontaneously. The colonist were upset because the British were going to LOWER the tea tax which would make the smuggled Dutch tea higher in price, so they threw tea from 4 ships into Boston Harbor to make a point. It is a myth that they dressed as Native Americans and that it was because of higher taxes that they threw the tea into the harbor. If you would like to read more about the myths in American history read the book by Richard Shenkman " I Love Paul Revere Whether He Rode or Not." He is a Harvard grad and a researcher on the Andrew Jackson Papers Project. He debunks the legends and lies of American history.
