jan 1, 1773 - 1773, Boston Tea Party

Description:

In 1773, about 116 people which included some Sons of Liberty protested the Tea Act that protected the British East India Company. They all dressed up as Mowhawks and boarded British ships that were docked in Boston at the time. On the ships they destroyed almost most of the tea on the ship which was worth a lot. After destroying the tea they chucked into the harbor. This was the most important event that led to the American Revolution.
