dec 16, 1773 - Boston Tea Party
Description:
After the Tea Act, the colonists saw it as a trick into accepting tax. In response to this they protested. They did so by forcing tea-bearing ships to return to England with their cargo. This was very significant because the colonists showed that they had the ability to protest and show their anger.Added to timeline:
