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.
King George didn't punish the colonists,the parliament did.
He was the brain trust...he was the greatest son of liberty that was ever known. He was also a ninja and totally kill everyone he saw. He was an amazing kicker and in fact kicked the tea into Boston Harbor with ease. He also had a dog named Number 2.
Britain was very upset they beat them up with brooms
1) We were under Britain / United Kingdom rule back then
2) The people here were pissed cause Britain was taxing us on everything and not representing us properly back in Britain.
So basically they were taking our tax dollars and not doing anything for us. Kind of like how our government operates now except they were taking even less back then.
The Boston Tea Party was a result of the king of England raising taxes in the colonies. These taxes were to pay for England's debt; and they were in debt as a result of the French and Indian War. The colonists were unhappy with these taxes and planned a revolt, which involved taking the one of the taxed items, tea, and throwing it into the Boston Harbor.
The Boston Tea Party led to the Intolerable Acts, which ultimately caused the war between the colonies and England.
Boston really did have a tea party by a Liberty tree. Many people don't know that a Liberty tree is just an Elm Tree. It was no special tree.
The Sons of Liberty. They were originally started by many people, including Samuel Adams.
well the Indians
because the Indians didnt want to pay the taxes so they dumped the tea and it made them furious i gyuss
Participants in the tea party destroyed 340 chests of tea on the night of December 16, 1773. According to Charles Bahne, author of The Complete Guide to Boston's Freedom Trail, this amounted to more than 46 tons of tea leaves. Such an amount could have brewed 18,523,000 cups of tea! The East India Company reported losses of £9,659 after the Boston Tea Party. This would amount to a million dollars in today's money!
They destroyed the tea by dumping it in Boston Harbor.
The Intolerable Act:
The King closed the harbor because of the Boston tea party. One observer watched the British man of war ships come into the harbor and commented that “ there were so many it looked like London was arriving.” The king sent over 2000 troops into Boston.
The American colonists were tired of being forced to have only one choice of tea to buy and drink (which was tea from the East India Company), so they decided to rebel against it. On December 16, 60 Boston colonists disguised as Native Americans jumped onto the tea ships and dumped 342 chests of the tea into the Boston Harbor.
The Boston tea act was an act that people did because they got mad. They got on a ship and threw boxes and boxes of tea into the lake the boat was in.
A group known as the â??Sons of Libertyâ?? dressed like Mohawk Indians, boarded three British ships in Boston Harbor and dumped 342 crates of tea into the water. Their usual tactics had been to scare off the ships by threats of violence to the captain and crew. However this time they demanded the ships return to England, while the British governor of Massachusetts, Thomas Hutchinson ordered them to stay.
The British taxes on goods created hard feelings between the British and colonists. British soldiers panicked during a protest and caused the Boston Massacre. The British repealed all taxes except the one on tea in an effort to prove to the colonists that they had the power to tax the colonies. The colonists protested and caused the Boston Tea Party.
The Boston Tea Party was a direct action by the Boston colonists. Boston a town in the British colony of Massachusetts, against the Great Britain Government and the monopolistic East India Company that controlled all the tea imported into the colonies. On December 16, 1773, after officials in Boston refused to return three shiploads of taxed tea to Britain, a group of colonists boarded the ships and destroyed the tea by throwing it into Boston Harbor. The incident remains an iconic event of American history, and other political protests often refer to it.
the Boston tea party came before the intolerable acts
the intolerable acts was a response made by King George the 3rd
the Boston tea party was a response to the tea act where king George added
taxes to tea
It is estimated that between 30 and 130 men, some of them disguised as Mohawk Indians, boarded the three ships from England (the Dartmouth, the Eleanor, and the Beaver) and, over the course of about 3 hours, dumped all 342 chests of tea into the Boston Harbor.
He didn't go and wasn't in the colonies. He was in England .Hancock paid and organized it and had Samuel Adams organize the men.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.

Products that were purchased from England came with extremely high taxes which made it nearly impossible for the people to have everyday goods such as tea. By dumping the tea in the harbor it was wasted.they wanted peace
The Townshend Act - The Boston tea party was December 6th, 1773 while the Townshend Act resulted in the Boston Massacre in 1770. On the same day as the massacre in Boston, Parliament began to consider a motion to repeal the Townshend Acts. Most of the new taxes were repealed, but the tax on tea remained.
