Did Samuel Adams organize the Boston tea party?

No one organized it. That is one of the great legends of our nation. What really happened was a group of people ( some may have been Sons of Liberty) were in one of the pubs and they were complaining about the tax on tea and the East Indian company. Some one suggested that they go dump the tea in the harbor, so they decided to meet at the docks. A few went home and dressed up as Indians and picked up a hatchet or two. They boarded 3 ships and threw the chests of tea overboard into Boston Harbor.
