23h 31min, dec 16, 1773 y - Boston Tea Party

Description:

At midnight in Boston Harbor, a group of colonists disguised as Mohawk Native Americans, sneak into three Boston tea ships and dump 342 chests of tea into the ocean. It was a key event leading up to the war, because it shows how the colonists weren't afraid to rebel against the British. Talk about a party! (It wasn't a party.)
