What was also going on at the same time as the Boston Tea Party?

While the Boston Tea Party was going on, Seven ships with East India Company tea were heading for the colonies. Four were heading towards Boston. Colonists were anxious and wanted the ships to return to Britain. The Tea Act actually lowered tea prices, but colonists were angry because of their lack of representation. Other Tea ships in other cities turned back, but the Boston Governor would not stand down. There was no killing.


What was the Boston Tea Party 1773?

The Boston tea party was an act of colonists of Boston of which they did not want to be taxed on tea so they refused to take it out of the ships. But they couldn't send it back to England because their govenor wouldn't allow it, and said that it was to be held for 20 days, and if not unloaded by that time, would be sold at auction to pay for the tax. The whole point was so that the colonists wouldn't pay the tax though, so groups of men went and split up into 3 groups and destroyed all the tea on the ships, and then threw the tea into the Boston harbor.


Does the US owe Britain for the Boston tea party?
