T The "Boston Tea Party" was a protest against the Tea Act. Sons of Liberty, dressed up and masquerading as "Mohawks" boarded two ships and dumped the contents of the large tea chests over the side into the waters of the harbor. The British then tried to force the colonists to pay for the Tea and closed the Port of Boston as part of the "Intolerable Acts" in reprisal.
