There were two audiences, actually. The immediate audience was the angry colonists who were present on December 16, 1773 when the event occurred, as well as those who watched or soon heard about this protest against unfair British taxation of tea. But the other audience was the King of England-- he wasn't there, although his soldiers were, but the colonists were sending him a message. They believed British rule had become too onerous and unjust, and they were ready to take action.
