dec 16, 1773 - Boston Tea Party

Description:

When a valuable shipment of tea (belonging to the East India Company and intended for sale in the American colonies) arrived in Boston Harbor, it was thrown overboard by a group of Bostonians disguised as American Indians during the night of 16 December 1773. The British government, angered by this and other colonist protests against British policy, took retaliatory measures in 1774, including the closing of the port of Boston.
