What was the Boston tea party was?

Answer 1

The Boston Tea Party was when between 30 and 130 men, some disguised as Mohawk Indians, boarded three different British Tea ships and dumped 342 chests of tea into the Boston Harbor. This happened on December 16, 1773.

Answer 2

One of the grevances the colonists had with Great Britain was the imposition of taxes on various goods, including tea. The Sons of Liberty decided to protest. They dressed as indians, boarded several merchant ships in Boston Harbor and dumped the tea overboard. This made the tea undrinkable, even for Americans.

Answer 3

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.
Boston tea party was actually not any party but was a protest made by Americans against the tea that they used to get from china and India and sell them in American markets, destroying the home tea growers. the protesting members threw all the imported tea into river in Boston.
