On December 16, 1773, on a cold night 342 crates on tea were dumped into the Boston Harbor by 30-130 men in the course of three hours. It is well know as "The Boston Tea Party." The Boston Tea Party happened over 235 years ago but is still know as one of the biggest events that happened to nation.Samuel Adams, John Adams, Paul Revere, and John Hancock were come of the men that were involved in the Boston Tea Party. These men were protesting on the tax on tea because it was to high because of the Tea Act. There was over 90,000 pounds of tea dumped into the harbor that night. After the Boston Tea Party happened it helped to start the Revolution War.
I think that dumping the tea into the harbor was a good decision to do so that the learned a lessoned and so they knew that the tax was way to high. The colonists were very mad and were trying to prove their point that the tax needed to be lowered. And to stop all of that smuggling that was happening. I can understand why is started to Revolutionary War.
