Boston Tea Party:
The Colonists were angry at the British for passing the tea tax that placed a tax on tea. So they dumped boxes and boxes of tea into the water as a protest against the tea tax. But they dressed as Indians in order to put the blame on the Indians if they got caught.

The Boston Tea party was about a bunch white men dressed up like Indians in a boat and throwing tea bags in the water. Therefore who ever gets offended could blame on the Indians.

The Boston Tea Party was one of those rare instances in history, other than battles, that was thought out and planned.

The Boston Tea Party took place on December 16, 1773. It was an event with serious consequences and was one of the main occurrences that led to the American Revolution.

It started when the British Parliament passed the Tea Act in May of 1773. This was done because the East India Tea Company was on the verge on bankruptcy, and many of the members of parliament had stock in that company. The company had a surplus of 17 million pounds of tea on hand and appealed to the British government to help it out. The government had extensive holdings and interests in India, and the bill was passed. The bill provided for the lifting of all British duties (taxes) on teas exported to America. The import tax of 3d. per pound (3 pence) in America was retained, however. The East India Company was given the exclusive right to sell tea directly or to its agents in America. This allowed the East India Company to undersell all its competition, especially the law abiding colonial merchant who had bought his tea through middlemen at higher prices. It also hurt the tea smuggler who bought his tea in Holland. The East India Company was authorized by the British government to send 1/2 million pounds of tea to Boston, New York, Philadelphia, and Charleston.

The American opposition to the tea taxes was not centered on the duty but on the monopoly, it gave the East India Company. In the cities already named, mass meetings were held and they condemned the Act and appointed committees to demand the resignation of the various consignees in their cities. In Boston, however, the consignees would not resign. In New York, a threatened boycott helped to encourage the consignees to resign. The problem in Boston was that the consignees were two sons and a nephew of Governor Hutchinson of Massachusetts.

On November 27, 1773, the Dartmouth, the first of three tea ships sent to Boston arrived. Two mass meetings took place to protest their entry into Boston Harbor and to resolve that the tea must be sent back to England. Hutchinson refused to do this and he gave orders to the harbor authorities that only those tea ships who had a permit certifying the payment of the tea duties could be allowed to pass out of the harbor. He repeated this position on December 16, 1773. On the next day, December 17, 1773, in keeping with the 20-day waiting period under the custom regulations, the tea on the Dartmouth could be seized for nonpayment of duties. On the evening of December 16, 1773, a mass meeting was held by some 8,000 people in and near Old South Church. There, they listened as Francis Rotch, the son of the owner of the Dartmouth, informed Sam Adams, the chairperson of the meeting, that the governor would not rescind his order.

Then, at a signal from Sam Adams, a group of men (probably members of the radical Sons of Liberty, and who were disguised as Mohawk Indians) rushed to Griffin's Wharf where the tea ships were docked. Working through the night, they threw overboard 1/2 million pounds of tea in the 342 tea chests on the ships. No other property was harmed, but this act infuriated the British, who responded by closing the harbor until all the tea was paid for. It was never paid for and what followed were more violent protests against the Tea Act.
