16 Dez 1773 Jahr - Boston Tea Party

Beschreibung:

The Stamp Act and Townshend Acts angered the colonists. Because the British had no representation when taxing. The colonists made a saying ''No taxation without representation.'' One man who did not like the taxes was John Hancock. In 1768, his ship liberty was forcefully taken by the British custom officials and he was charged with smuggling. He was defended by John Adams and the charges were eventually dropped.
