What was major events that happen in the Boston tea party?

Answer 1

When the first ship, Dartmouth, sailed into Boston Harbor in November 1773, a delegation of the Committees of Correspondence met it at the dock.

The ship could not unload, said the committee; it would have to return to Britain. The captain was agreeable, but Governor Hutchinson, who was unwilling to let the Sons of Liberty govern the harbor, refused to give it clearance. The committee posted a guard at the dock. Stalemate. But only for a time.

On December 16, 1773, the vessel's harbor permission would expire. It would either have to unload or sail. On that evening before the deadline, a huge public meeting gathered at Faneuil Hall. After discussion and little agreement, Samuel Adams declared: "This meeting can do no more to save the country."

It was apparently a signal, for the large crowd filed out of the hall and down the street to the docks.

There a group of men dressed as Indians boarded, the Dartmouth and dumped 342 chests of tea into the harbor.

Resistance to the Tea Act was general. New York and Philadelphia refused to let tea ships into their harbors and sent them back to Britain. But nowhere was the destruction of property as great as in Boston.
