What happened in boston tea party?

Answer 1

The British government began taxing the colonies to raise money. One thing they taxed was tea that was imported. The people of Massachusetts colony did not like this because they were unable to vote in Parliamentary elections- so-called "taxation without representation". So they disguised themselves as Indians and boarded some ships in the Boston harbor and destroyed the tea and dumped it into the harbor. They called this the "Boston Tea Party". I think this eventually lead to the colonies swith from drinking tea to drinking coffee. also the intolerable act happened
