Hancock paid and organized it and had Samuel Adams organize the men.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.
The colonists were responsible for the Boston tea party.
Boston Tea Party
they put tax on tea!!(:
yes
To protest the british tax on tea.
The British imposed a tax on tea.
England did not tax us for the tea.
The Boston Tea Party was a (traditionally believed) response to the British tea tax. The Tea Party itself taxed nothing.
a tea tax
tax of 1773
No political group was responsible instead it was a group of smugglers protesting the British lowering the tea tax which made the Dutch tea they smuggled higher in cost.
The tea party was not a party. It was an event when tea was thrown into Boston harbor as a form of protest for the tea tax having been lowered.
