Boston Tea Party (8h 5min, dec 16, 1773 y – 23h 15min, dec 21, 1773 y)
Description:
This was an incident in which 342 chests of tea that belonged to the British East India Company were thrown from ships into Boston Harbor by the American patriots disguised as Mohawk Indians. The Americans did this as a result because they were protesting both a tax on tea, which is how "taxation without representation" came to be as well as the perceived monopoly of the East India Company.
