16 déc. 1773 - The Boston Tea Party
Description:
The Boston Tea Party was a political protest by the Sons of Liberty in Boston in response to British taxation without representation and the monopolistic practices of the British East India Company. During the event, demonstrators, some disguised as Native Americans, destroyed an entire shipment of tea by throwing it into Boston Harbor, dramatically escalating the tensions that led to the American Revolution.Ajouté au bande de temps:
