dec 16, 1773 - Boston Tea Party

Description:

342 chests of tea were thrown into Boston's harbor. Men disguised as Native Americans, known as the Sons of Liberty, were responsible for this act, hoping it will show how strongly colonist opposed taxation without representation. In today's money, it cost the king $1,000,000.
