dec 16, 1773 - Boston Tea Party
Description:
The Boston Tea Party occurred because colonists wanted to protest that tax for tea that was being put upon them. Men dressed up as native americans and boarded a ship with cases of tea. They then threw 342 cases of tea into the Boston Harbor to send a message to the British. Samuel Adams played a vital in organizing this event.Added to timeline:
