Boston Tea Party

so that they could get inside the boat because only the workers could pass

The tea party was not a party. It was an event when tea was thrown into Boston harbor as a form of protest for the tea tax having been lowered.

no

¨The Intolerable Acts¨ which were meant to specifically punish Boston & Massachusetts for the Boston tea party.

Silas Bent was born in Massachusetts, in 1744, and it is said that he was one of the party who threw the British tea into Boston harbor.

December 16 1773 was a Sunday.

It was the day of the Boston tea party, when 150 sons of liberty dressed as Indians and boarded three british ships filled with tea and threw 342 chests of tea into the harbor.

true

• Both, the Boston Tea Party and the Boston Massacre were protests of the tea tax.
• Both were against the British
• Both took place in Boston

Silas Bent was an author, journalist, and lecturer. He is best known for his writing in newspapers and his articles were often controversial.

Yes it was. It told England that the colonists won't take the tea if they are going to tax them.

When you are dumped you should keep moving forward . First, I think you should feel bad, but then as you start getting over it, stop thinking about the past, and start thinking about the future. at least, that's what i did. I have been dumped on numerous occasions (which is sad for me, but I am married now, so hang in there). What I always found helpful is to go out and get a new haircut. I know this sounds strange, but it gives you a new outlook. And it's something that the ex isn't a part of. So you are moving forward in your life. I also buy something new. Like a blanket, shirt, shoes, pillow or whatever tickles your fancy at the time. That way when you look at it, it doesn't remind you of the ex. I would also suggest putting away anything the ex gave you or that reminds you of them. I don't mean throw it away, because one day you will bring it out and remember all the good times. Yes, the good times will shine through in the future. Do not sit around and listen to "your" song and other sad music that reminds you of them. You need to get involved in something new and fun. Take a dance class, an exercise class. Join a group. This will get you out there and keep you occupied. Everything happens for a reason. You must remember that you are probably much better off... and trust me, you will see this in the future.

I don't f-ing know that's why i am asking the question!

At the Boston Tea Party, a group of men, disguised as Indians, boarded ships that were carrying tea and they dumped the tea overboard.

The Boston Massacre was a tussle between citizens and British troops that got out of hand and was then used as a propaganda ploy to incite further opposition to the governing and taxing policy of the British government.

The Boston Tea Party was a protest against subsidized prices of tea from the British East India Company being sold in the colonies. The Government reaction to it was closure of the Port of Boston, among other things, and this, too became part of the agitation against governing policies.

The "shot heard 'round the world" is a fanciful term for the first shot fired during the face-off between British Troops and the Minutemen on Lexington Green. No one knows who fired it, but it began the hostilities that became the American Revolution.

The phrase "shot heard 'round the world" has also been applied to the skirmish at North Bridge in Concord, Massachusetts, later that day and to other, unrelated gun shots, including the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand, leading to the Frist World War.

Protectionist legislation is law created by elected officials to protect business in their country. The "protection" usually targets a specific industry to either increase exports or decrease imports. The legislation may be a tariff, earning the federal government money by placing fees on specific imports. The legislation, if truly needed, may come too late in fast business cycles to save jobs. Conversely it the legislation is unneeded lobbyists gain protection against foreign competitors. Nations tend to reciprocate tariffs, and laws of this kind divert the free market away from countries with unreasonable tariffs.

The protection of domestic commerce may also be referred to as relief for troubled or essential industries or isolationist legislation (not to be confused with consumer protection such as poison warning labels.)

When English colonists settled in a new land they carried their own laws with them. This is called the:

The Intolerable Acts is what they were called.

If you go all the way back to 1770 the Boston Massacre started with, you could say, a snowball fight. An angry mob started throwing ice and rocks at the Boston Customs House, and it all ended with mistrust of the British soldiers and angry colonists. If you think out of the box, the colonists were a bit more angry than they would have been normally without the Boston Massacre, so therefore the Boston Tea Party was started by a snowball fight.

To be accurate and correct if you are going to put "The Boston Tea Party was started by a snowball fight" on, say, an exam, you probably would be marked incorrect. Be careful.

No, it was not a "convention " but a small group of smugglers trying to protect their interests. The British had lowered the cost of tea and the smugglers were selling Dutch tea at a higher price than the British. They had to protect their interests so they gathered a group of men from the dock pubs and went onboard 3 ships. They were not dressed as Native Americans as the legends tell us.

They destroyed the tea in protest of the Tea Act. This act required the colonists to exclusively purchase tea from the British West Indies Company. This angered the colonists because they could not purchase tea from other countries for better quality or price.

I believe they were tea bags, tea bricks would have caused more inflation than ever .

The Boston Tea Party was a protest by the Sons of Liberty.

The smugglers of Dutch tea were the true men involved in the Boston Tea Party. The British had lowered taxes on tea and removed taxes on other things, but in doing so this made the cost of Dutch tea higher than British. Hamilton who was one of the largest smugglers in the colonies had men board 3 ships and threw tea into the harbor. This was an economic action and less about revolution. If you wish more information on this I refer you to the book " I Love Paul Revere, Whether he Rode or Not" by Richard Shenkman. Mr. Shenkman was educated at Vassar and Harvard and worked as a researcher on the Andrew Jackson Papers Project.
