The Americans dumped tea into the sea during the Boston Tea Party on December 16, 1773, as a protest against the British Tea Act, which granted the British East India Company a monopoly on tea sales in the colonies and imposed taxes without colonial representation. Colonists viewed this as an infringement on their rights and a symbol of British oppression. The act of dumping over 300 chests of tea into Boston Harbor was a bold statement against taxation without representation and fueled the growing desire for independence from British rule.
