The Boston Tea Party was a political protest that took place on December 16, 1773, in Boston, Massachusetts. It was a response to the British government's imposition of taxes on tea, known as the Tea Act, which granted the British East India Company a monopoly on tea sales in the American colonies.
A group of colonists, known as the Sons of Liberty, disguised themselves as Native Americans and boarded three British ships docked in Boston Harbor: the Dartmouth, the Eleanor, and the Beaver. They proceeded to unload and throw 342 chests of tea into the harbor, amounting to a total of 46 tons of tea. The act of destruction was carried out as a symbol of protest against the British government's tax policies and lack of representation of the American colonies in parliament.
The Boston Tea Party was one of the events that contributed to the growing tensions between the American colonies and Britain, eventually leading to the American Revolutionary War.
