They didn't dress up. This is part of the fable. The Boston Tea Party was a protest of the lowering of the cost of the British tea by the government and the East India tea company who had gotten a bail out from the crown in 1773. The smugglers in the colonies found the Dutch tea that they sold was higher in price than the British tea, so they staged the Boston Tea Party and others in harbors in the colonies ( Hamilton was one of the largest smugglers in the colonies and a founding member of the Son's of Liberty). The cost of tea also went as far back as the Navigation Acts and the restricting of trade to and from the colonies passed from 1650-1733. Tea was also taxed in 1767 in the Townsend Acts.
I believe it was the Boston tea party. Don't hold me on that one - I'd look it up on Wikipedia.
it was to pay for their taxes of tea so they threw it over a boat
The Boston Tea Party site holds historical significance in American history as it was a key event that led to the American Revolution. On December 16, 1773, colonists protested against British taxation by dumping tea into Boston Harbor. This act of defiance symbolized the colonists' resistance to British rule and played a role in sparking the revolution for independence.
The colonists held the Boston and Edenton tea parties because they wanted to tell the British, and make sure they understood it too, "No taxation without representation!"

It was not actually a "tea party". They dumped 342 chests of tea into the Boston Harbor to protest the Tea Act which required the colonists to exclusively purchase tea from the British West Indies Company. This angered the colonists because they could not purchase tea elsewhere for better prices or quality.

The British began taxing to much for tea.
The representatives of the First Continental Congress gathered to discuss their response to the British "Intolerable Acts." These laws were passed to punish the colonies for the Boston Tea Party.
