Boston Tea Party

The Tea Act of 1773 granted the British East India Company a monopoly on tea sales in the American colonies, which angered colonists who viewed it as an infringement on their rights and an example of taxation without representation. This act prompted widespread protests, including the Boston Tea Party, where colonists dumped British tea into Boston Harbor in defiance. The backlash against British control and the subsequent punitive measures, such as the Intolerable Acts, further united the colonies in resistance. Ultimately, these escalating tensions and a desire for self-governance contributed to the movement toward independence, culminating in the Declaration of Independence in 1776.

sorry i dont no

Patrick Henry did not have a direct role in the Boston Tea Party, which took place in December 1773. However, he was a prominent figure in the American Revolution and a leading advocate for colonial resistance against British rule. Henry's powerful oratory and leadership in the Virginia House of Burgesses helped galvanize support for actions like the Boston Tea Party by raising awareness about the injustices of British taxation. His famous phrase, "Give me liberty, or give me death!" encapsulated the revolutionary spirit that fueled events like the Tea Party.

From accounts there was no precipitation on the day of the Tea Party. Although the ships carrying the tea cargo was delayed by bad weather, there was no rain the day of the event. A lithograph made about 50 years after the event show the sky was over cast, but that may be artistic license.

As for participants, the actual number of men involved in chucking the tea into the harbour range from 30 to about 130. Accounts vary. There was, however, a large crowd of people in and around the docks who were part of a growing protest against the tax. Some reports have the number of residents milling about at around 7,000, but they didn't take part in the actual tea dumping.

They are alleged to have thrown tea into the harbor at Boston.

The populist party began in 1892. The Populist Party was a collection of Democrats with an advocate of Democratic Principles. They were formed from the Knights of Labor and Farmer's Alliance as one group. They advocated the public ownership of railroads, telephone lines, etc. They denounced Socialism and called for the KKK.

Nothing could get in or out of the Boston harbor. The colonist were not able to smuggle tea from Holland.

The Revolution was a civil war in some sence because we were a british colony.

The Sons of Liberty was a gang like group of people that would hold outdoor meetings and try to intimidate the british stamp distributors.

While not directly connected, the Boston Tea Party was a reaction to the taxes being levyed by England against the colonists. It was felt by the colonists that the King was outstepping his bounds and curtailing the colonist's rights as English citizens. Keeping the injustices that had been commited by the British crown in mind, the writers of the constitution constructed a form of government with checks and balances to prevent a similar situation happening in the future. The demand for a Bill of Rights further laid out the individual rights of the people to protect them against injustices committed by the government.
