the sugar act came first
The Boston Harbor was closed, and laws known as the Coercive or Intolerable acts were put in.
During the Stamp act, the colonists had to pay for a special paper and during the Sugar act they had to pay for the sugar. But during the Townshend act, the colonists had to pay for tea, paint, silk, glass, ink, and lead. Eventually this act was repealed, all but the tea tax which led to the Boston Tea Party.
The Sons of Liberty were smugglers in the colonies and yes they did use violence when they threw the tea into Boston harbor. The issue was an economic one for them. The British had lowered the tax on tea which made the smuggled Dutch tea higher in cost.
Colonists were sick and tired of paying taxes, especially on tea. So patriots dressed up as Indians and dumped about 340 chests off the ship and into the ocean. Also, The action was taken to prevent the payment of a British-imposed tax on tea and to protest the British monopoly of the colonial tea trade authorized by the Tea Act.
The Coercive Acts, passed in 1774, were designed to punish the Bostonians by closing the port until they paid for the tea they destroyed. These acts also took away Massachusetts's charter as a colony and made it harder to punish anyone in England's royal offices of crime. The Quebec Act of that same year took away colonial land and was one of the main causes of the Revolutionary War.
The King during the Boston Tea Party was King George the Third. Written as King George III.
No. The Tea Party movement is not nearly as organized as a political party, though some operatives of the Republican party are trying very hard to absorb the Tea Party's enthusiasm.
The whole ride fable comes from a Longfellow poem. This includes the signal.His most important thing is the flier of the Boston Massacre. He drew the event and it was mainly propaganda made to incite the colonist against the British.Revere was stopped by a British patrol and his horse taken. He never finished the ride, but two men did. They were named Prescott and Dawes. In 1861 Revere came to fame through a poem written by Longfellow on the eve of the civil war. He was trying to write about patriotism and remind people that they were one nation. This poem has been used as history and it isn't.
There is a source link below.
The colonists protested against the Tea Act all over the 13 original colonies. They unloaded tea on the docks of Charleston, South Carolina and let the tea rot. And in New York City and Philadelphia the colonists blocked off the tea ships from landing. So the Sons of Liberty prompted the Boston Tea Party.
There is no mention of snow in any historical records of note, and no period art shows snowfall in the depiction of the act.
If you defended British soldiers who were in the Boston Massacre in court, you are John Adams.

•The Boston Tea Party was considered successful and a failure because the king lowered taxes but right after it started a war.
December 16, 1773 Hope this is what you meant♥
They did. 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.
It didn't change very much. He saw the colonies as if they were small children having a temper tantrum. The tea party happened in 1773 and three years later the Declaration of Independence happened, so there is a time different between one event and the other. The breaking point for the king was Bunker Hill. After Bunker Hill he could see that the colonies were in rebellion.
Dartmouth - Captain Hall, carried 114 chests of tea; arrived on Sunday, November 28th
Eleanor - Captain Coffin, carried 114 chests of tea; arrived on Thursday, December 2nd
Beaver - Captain Bruce, carried 112 chests of tea, docked on Wednesday, December 15th
They raised the tax on tea for the colonies shipped in from India. What most people do not know is that the tax for tea shipped in from India was higher than the tax shipped to England even though England is closer than the Americas.
since I was there 200 years ago, I know the exact time.... it happened at night time and I saw lots of people throw tea on December 17th, 1773....like c'mon....who would know the exact time... all the people who were there are DEAD.
I suspect the notorious John Hancock. He was a big-time tea smuggler and had a lot to lose under the new legislation which allowed the British East India company to bring tea into the American colonies tax-free. He was also suspected by the British authorities of illegal activity and had narrowly escaped from one criminal charge.
Because the British took away all the taxes except the one on tea, this did not satisfy the Patriots that is why the Patriots dressed as mohawk indians and dumped 342 crates of tea into Boston Harbor.
There were three ships that were raided during the Boston Tea Party: the Dartmouth, the Eleanor and the Beaver. It is rarely mentioned that the ships were all American ships; only the tea belonged to the East India Tea Company.
