what do you know about the boston tea party?

Answer 1

ok well i know that the colonists in Massachusetts disguised themselves as native americans, snuck into the english ship that were filled with tea. they dumped out like 38 chest-fulls into the Boston Harbor and returned . the tea was needed to pay off taxes from the French and Indian War after the Tea Act was passed in 1773.

Answer 2

The Boston Tea Party was a direct action protest by the American colonists against Great Britain in which they destroyed many crates of tea bricks on ships in Boston Harbor. The incident, which took place on Thursday, December 16, 1773, has been seen as helping to spark the American Revolution.

On Thursday, December 16, 1773, the evening before the tea was supposed to be landing, the Sons of Liberty, three groups of 50 Boston residents each organized by Samuel Adams, burst from the Old South Meeting House and headed toward Griffin's Wharf, dressed as Mohawks in hopes to disguise their true identities to avoid reprimand and punishment. Three ships — the Dartmouth, the Eleanor and the Beaver — were loaded with hundreds of crates of tea. (A fourth ship, the William, sank off the coast of Cape Cod before arriving to Boston Harbor). The men boarded the ships and began destroying the cargo. By 9 p.m., they had opened 342 crates of tea (worth approximately £10,000) in all three ships and had thrown them into Boston Harbor. They took off their shoes, swept the decks, and made each ship's first mate agree to say that the Sons of Liberty had destroyed only the tea, they were met with almost no resistance except for the first mate of the Eleanor, David Mathew, who fought valiantly taking out the eyes of several of the residents. The next day, they sent someone around to fix the one padlock they had broken.
