dec 16, 1773 - The Boston Tea Party

Tea tax placed on the colonists. Colonists wanted to buy from the Dutch until Britain lowered their prices. Although this was tempting, the colonists knew that if they bought tea from Britain, then they would be taxed on it. So they dressed up as Indians and threw the tea into the Boston harborAdded to timeline:
