Nobody said "The English are coming" during the Boston Tea Party. It is said that Paul Revere went through the town yelling that when the British came over to start the Revolutionary War, but that is a separate incident. Besides, according to a History Channel thing I saw the other day, Paul Revere never really said that anyway.

It was Paul Revere who made the legendary ride to warn the townspeople that the British were coming, having been sighted in the harbor, and Paul having seen the lights in the Old North Church tower. He is said to have called out "The british are coming" to muster out the militia. This event is memorialized in The Midnight Ride of Paul Revere.
That had nothing to do with the Boston Tea Party, which was an act of rebellion led by Samuel Adams, among others, to protest British taxes by tossing tea into Boston Harbor.

Boston, Estas se debÃan, entre otras, a impuestos exagerados, lo que en 1773 condujo a la rebelión que ocasionara la guerra con Inglaterra - Boston Tea Party.
En aquellos dÃas, Paul Revere, quien previno a los ''Minutemen'' contra los ingleses, se convirtió en héroe nacional.
O Major Pitcairn foi encarregado de deter os revolucionários e destruir os paióis. Paul Revere, ligado aos cÃrculos rebeldes, sabedor da marcha das tropas inglesas, lançou-se pela estrada, alertando os colonos. No dia 19 de abril de 1775, Pitcairn foi surpreendido em Lexington por oitenta americanos (os minutemen), dispostos a impedir sua passagem. Durante um curto espaço de tempo, ambos os lados mediram-se com os olhos e repentinamente o tiroteio rompeu o silêncio da manhã. Pouco depois, oito cadáveres de colonos jaziam ao solo. Pitcairn ordenou o prosseguimento da operação e os arsenais de Concord foram destruÃdos, mas os dois rebeldes procurados haviam tido tempo suficiente para fugir.

it was actually "The British are coming" and this quote is not necessarily directly associated with the Boston Tea Party- it was Paul Revere on his ride to warn the colonists and get the militia men to prepare and come together.
