The smugglers of Dutch tea were the true men involved in the Boston Tea Party. The British had lowered taxes on tea and removed taxes on other things, but in doing so this made the cost of Dutch tea higher than British. Hamilton who was one of the largest smugglers in the colonies had men board 3 ships and threw tea into the harbor. This was an economic action and less about revolution. If you wish more information on this I refer you to the book " I Love Paul Revere, Whether he Rode or Not" by Richard Shenkman. Mr. Shenkman was educated at Vassar and Harvard and worked as a researcher on the Andrew Jackson Papers Project.

∙ 11y agoNo.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.
