dec 16, 1773 - Boston Tea Party
Description:
The Boston Tea Party was a way that the colonists boycotted the Tea Act. British tea ships arrived in Boston and many of the colonists and citizens wanted the tea to go back without taxes being payed. So, a group of people dressed up as Indians and dumped all the tea into the Boston Harbor. This lead to the Coercive Acts and many other protests that eventually lead to the Revolutionary War.Added to timeline:
