What happened at the Boston Tea Party
On December 16, 1773, a group of American colonists, some disguised as Native Americans, boarded three British ships, the Dartmouth, Eleanor, and Beaver, docked in Boston Harbor. They destroyed 342 chests of tea belonging to the British East India Company by throwing them into the water. The action was organized in protest of the Tea Act, which colonists viewed as an unjust exercise of taxation without representation. The event, later called the Boston Tea Party, provoked a harsh British response, including the Coercive Acts, which further inflamed colonial resistance. It became a pivotal moment in escalating tensions that led to the American Revolutionary War, beginning in 1775.
