Boston

The reason the rebels did so was because they where tired of paying taxs for tea, not only that, but other stuff too, so they decided to dress up as Indians and dump all the tea on the british's boat into the harbor.

Paul Revere crossed the Mystic River twice while riding west from Boston Harbor (Charlestown). He crossed it northbound to Medford, and back to the southern shore to continue west to Lexington. The total length of the river is only about 7 miles.

the british dead!

The Boston Port Act or the Trade Act of 1774 was one of the intolerable acts that led to the War of Independence. In retaliation for the Boston Tea Party, King George ordered Boston Port closed and barriers were constructed around it. This was to continue until the colonies paid restitution to the King for revenues lost.

Social life in Colonial Massachusetts often revolved around church. Church events took up a large part of the colonists' social lives. On Sundays, they also spent time visiting family and friends.

September 1777

They boarded 4 ships at that were in the port. On one ship they hit the guard over the head and knocked him out. On the other 3 they had no problems with the guards. They were NOT dressed as Indians and they didn't care who knew who they were. They were smugglers of Dutch tea that would have cost more because the British tea would cost LESS because the tax was made LOWER.

In 1774, there were two separate acts that closed Boston Harbor and that placed the government of Massachusetts under British control. These were two of the five Restraining Acts that were known alternately by the British as the Coercive Acts and by the American colonists as the Intolerable Acts.1

The Boston Port Act was introduced on March 18, 1774, and passed on June 1, 1774, to compel Boston to reimburse the East India Company for the tea that was destroyed during the Boston Tea Party.1, 2 The Massachusetts Government Act was passed on May 20, 1774, to punish Massachusetts for its "errant behavior," by limiting its self government.3

I grew up in South Boston, in the shadows of Dorchester Heights, and March 17th being St. Patrick's Day, there were many festivites. The day usually stated with a memorial service at the Heights, and tower monument was open to the public. This is about the only "Evacuation Day" ceremony. The rest of the day was celebrated as a South Boston holiday and St Patrick's Day. The movie theater used to have free cartoons all morning. The boxing Golden Gloves tournament at the South Boston Municipal gym was scheduled. There was always a political roast the eve of St Pat's day held in Southie, which is now held at the convention center. The highlight of the day was the parade. A rather large parade though South Boston, which is a must for politicians. I remember seeing JFK (as a congressman), and Ted Kennedy, and many other Massachusetts politicians in parade. The parade has been moved to Sunday now, in order to keep the crowd tamer (and sober).

The founder and origins of the Boston Sons of Liberty is unclear. Historical records refer to the organization as early as 1765.

The Sons of Liberty dumped tea into the Boston Harbor because they were against the Stamp Act. They did not want to pay such a high tax for this tea. Tea they where only allowed to buy from British Ships, with a tax they had no say in British Parliament either for or against. This say, is ultimately all the people of the Colonies actually wanted. They did not want to cause any damage to the ships which held the tea. All they wanted to do was dump tea into the harbor. They kept there word and didn't damage the ship or anything else on it besides the tea.

it cost to much money for the tons of boxes of tea

It was mainly Samual Adams idea but he had help from other colonists such as Paul Revere and John Hancock. They were all part of a secret club called the "Sons of Liberty".

They dumped the tea because they were getting taxed by a king 3000 miles away, an they didn't think it was fair, so since the tea was worth thousands of dollars, and it was the kings most prized possession they knew that he would get mad. And since they were dressed up as the Indians the king thought it was the Indians because he might of thought that they were mad because the colonist were moving west more and more

The tea was not the King's most prized possession. The King didn't own the tea that was destroyed. It was targeted because the British government gave a monopoly on the importation of tea to the struggling East India Company which meant the colonists had to buy tea (a very important drink) from them. To help the company further, the government reduced the tax on the tea so the price of tea actually became cheaper.

The colonists resented this and refused to pay the tea tax. THey saw it as interference from the government in their lives. Arguments raged for years over the tea tax and the monopoly and came to a head when 3 ships with cargo holds of cheap tea docked in Boston in 1773. Anger with the government boiled over resulting in a group of colonists boarding the ships and dumping the 342 crates of tea overboard.

The King was not mad at the colonists for moving west, mostly irritated at the American refusal to buckle under and pay the taxes. The colonists disguised themselves as Indians to protect their identities. By throwing the tea in the harbour, they were basically thumbing their noses at the government and committing what could be seen as an act of treason if they were caught. The British government knew the Indians were not responsible.

The townshend acts were pasted and Britain closed all ports coming from Boston.

Boston was officially founded in 1630, although settlements took root there in the early 1620s. 1625 Rev. William Blackstone (Blaxton) same person. 1630 John Winthop and Salem puritans. A monument in Boston Common commemorates the founding. It is located on the north side of the common, along Beacon (and Spruce) Street. Incidentally, a fishing weir was found in on Newbury st. carbon dated to 6,000 years ago.

Britain did send warships and troops to block the Boston Harbor in 1768 because King George the Third wanted the patronism to stop in Boston because there were murders breaking out such as the Boston Massacre.

Withe the outbreak of war, Boston was a leading arms manufacturer. By 1950, the farming and fishing sector declined. However, it took its first step in the field of computer and progressed in high-tech industries. Life was very productive with good job opportunities. Many new projects helped the financial position of the people living there.
