No, it was not that type of party.

The colonists shouted, "No taxation without representation!" which summarized a primary grievance of the British colonists in the 13 colonies. One of the major causes as the Stamp Act."

Patrick Henry urged colonists to challenge the "Stamp Act" shouting," Give me liberty or give me death!" Well, sad news is death came and he was soon hanged. The king at that time was George III.

On December 16, 1773, men and boys disguised themselves as Mohawk Native Americans. They divided in 3 groups. Each group went in each East India Company ship.

Men on the ships swung axes to open crates of tea. Four hours later, 23,000 lbs. of tea were thrown into the ocean. The British Royal Navy and Boston Colonists watched this unfold.

The colonists did not like the way the British ruled. There were around 4000 troops in every city. 1 for each 4 civilians. If someone got the British soldier angry, you could bet your bottom you'd be shot or worse, killed!
When the British approached, Paul Revere warned the colonies, "The British are coming!" This way, the colonists could have time to get their guns and powder for war.
During the American Revolution, we fought all through the battle. No losing that battle with George Washington as captain fighting for freedom! We soon won the Revolution!
The Boston Tea Party arose from two different issues confronting the British Empire in 1765; The Financial problems of the British East India tea company, and the on-going dispute about the extent of the Parliament authority. The way the North Ministries resolved the issue was fighting against it and protesting which later resulted in a REVOLUTION!
