Boston Tea Party

The Boston Tea Party was a political and mercantile protest by the Sons of Liberty in Boston, Massachusetts, on December 16, 1773.
Due to American Patriots hating the new taxes laid down by the British, American Colonists dumped nearly 10,000 tons of tea into the ocean to protest in front of many spectators.

Due to this, the British were disgusted, and, as punishment, they did a lot of things. They dissolved Massachusetts' General Assembly, revoked their charter, and sent 3,000 more troops to the city.
