Why is the backs Boston Tea Party important?

Answer 1

The Boston Tea Party was important because it showed the American colonies had grown tired of arbitrary taxation by the British. When the East Indian company was allowed to sell tea directly to America, the British insisted the tax be paid on it. This culminated in the dumping of tea cargoes into Boston Harbor.

Answer 2

On December 16, 1773 American Patriots dressed as Indians and threw Tea from 3 different British Ships into the Boston Harbor. King George III was Furious by the Boston Tea Party. So he told British troops to occupy the city. This was an important event because if colonist didn't do things leading up to the Revolutionary War they wouldn't get independence...

Answer 3

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.
