Question

What took place in 1773 in Boston Massachusetts, and was a political protest where a certain type of imported goods was dumped into the harbor

Answer 1

The event that took place in Boston, Massachusetts in 1773 is known as the Boston Tea Party. It was a political protest against the British government's imposition of taxes on tea, which were seen as unfair and without representation for the American colonists. A group of colonists, disguised as Mohawk Native Americans, boarded three British ships docked at Griffin's Wharf in Boston Harbor. They proceeded to dump 342 chests of tea, which belonged to the British East India Company, into the harbor. This act of civil disobedience was a significant act of protest leading up to the American Revolution.
