The Boston Tea Party

Boston_Tea_Party_w.jpg

The Boston Tea Party took place in 1773. Bostonians dressed as Native Americans and dumped 342 chests of tea overboard from three British ships in protest against taxation without representation. The Tea Party took place at Griffin's Wharf, where the ships were tied up. When looking back at American history, you must not skip over the first event in which colonists showed resistance against the British.
