The act of rebellion you are referring to is the Boston Tea Party, which took place on December 16, 1773. This protest was carried out by American colonists, primarily members of the Sons of Liberty, who objected to the Tea Act imposed by the British government. They boarded three British ships and dumped 342 chests of tea into Boston Harbor as a statement against taxation without representation. This event was a pivotal moment in escalating tensions between the colonies and Britain, ultimately leading to the American Revolution.
