The first overt act of rebellion by the American colonies is often considered to be the Boston Tea Party, which occurred on December 16, 1773. In response to the Tea Act, which granted the British East India Company a monopoly on tea sales and imposed taxes without colonial representation, American colonists, disguised as Mohawk Indians, dumped 342 chests of tea into Boston Harbor.
