The Boston Tea Party, which took place on December 16, 1773, involved American colonists dumping 10,000 pounds of tea into Boston Harbor. This act of protest was against the Tea Act imposed by the British government, which granted the British East India Company a monopoly on tea sales in the American colonies. The event was a significant moment in the buildup to the American Revolution, symbolizing colonial resistance to British taxation without representation.
