With the Boston Tea Party was it a group of British colonists who boarded the ships and destroyed the tea by dumping it in the Boston Habor?

Answer 1

Yes. By that time, the British colonists were more known as American patriots.

Answer 2

another question:
This was Governor Hutchinson's fault right? because Sam Adams and the Sons of Liberty demanded that the ships leave the harbor.

Answer 3

I wouldn't say it was Governor Hutchinson's fault. This was a complex situation and opposition had been brewing (pun intended) for a long time.
