The Boston Tea Party
The Tea Act, passed by the House of Commons on April 27, 1773, was regarded in America as a strategy
to induce the colonists, by lowering the price of tea, to consume more of it and therefore acknowledge the
principle of British taxation. On December 16, 1773, a group of Bostonians, disguised as Mohawk Indians,
boarded the tea ships docked in Boston Harbor and dumped all 342 chests into the water, goading Britain
into harsh retaliatory legislation, known as the Intolerable Acts.
