1 янв 1770 г. - Boston Massacre

Описание:

In 1770 British in Boston opened fire on a crowd of protesters. Colonists called the death of 5 protesters the Boston Massacre. This led to a bunch of colonists hurling British Tea into the harbor to protest tax on tea. It became known as the Boston Tea Party. Parliament passed harsh laws to punish Massachusetts and the other colonies opposed the British response. The tension caused Continental Congress to gather and decide what action to take.
