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.

Boston Tea Party Of 1773 The Tea Party.

Thomas Jefferson (left) and Benjamin Franklin (right) at the Boston Tea Party.The colonists formed a Continental Congress to organise the party. The congress consisted of Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, Mel Gibson, and Gomez Addams as well as George Washington Carver and his evil twin Benedict Arnold Carver. Whilst the others were organising the teacakes and cucumber sandwiches, Jefferson was left in charge of making the tea. The others advised Earl Grey tea but Jefferson declared himself far too independent to take their advice and ordered Chai tea instead.

The 13 colonies became mad, at the British. Because the british kept taking advatage of the colonies by charging too much tax on tea. So the 13 colonies dressed up like Indians and went out to the Boston Harbor and dumped out all og the English tea.

Boston's Sons of Liberty (a riot grou) threw 342 chests of an India Co. tea into the Boston harbor due to the tea taxation that was being forced upon them in late 1773.

It was when the Patriots threw the Tea off the ships into the Boston Harbor. They were protesting Englands taxes. (taxation without representation)

since you don't want to read a book on the subject, my version is that a bunch of people in Boston had a party and got drunk on bad tea.
