16 дек 1773 г. - Boston tea party
Описание:
The Boston tea party took place as a direct protest against the taxation brought from the tea act passed in may 10th 1773. The Tea Act was the last in the series of unpopular taxes imposed by Britain on the American colonies. The patriots, some disguised as Native Americans, destroyed an entire shipment of tea sent by the East India Company. They boarded three ships in the Boston harbor and dumped 342 chests (around 42 tons) of tea into the water. When the news of the Boston Tea Party reached London, England on January 20, 1774, the British were outraged and shut down the Boston Harbor until all of the 342 chests of British East India Company tea were completely paid for. This is also know of one of the intolerable acts.
