Boston Tea Party

Well just in case you were wondering, the Boston Tea Party wasn't really a tea party held in Boston. In reality it was a form of protest that the Bostonians did because tea was taxed.
Let us explain to you the whole story of this historic event.
The British East India Company was having dome financial issues, so in order to help them , Parliament passed a law letting the company sell the tea directly to the colonies making the tea cheaper.  The price of the tea wasn't really the problem for the colonists. The real problem was that the colonists wanted to someone representing them in Parliament. Though Parliament didn't quite get the picture, instead they just thought that the colonists were stubborn.
The Bostonians got mad by this new law, so they took matters into their own hands. At 9:00 p.m.  of December 16, 1773, a group of Bostonians disguised as Native Americans boarded the British merchant ship Dartmouth. These people had a main goal:  destroy the ships' cargo of British East India Company tea. The disguised Bostonians destroyed 342 barrels of tea estimated to be worth between £10,000. Back then that was a lot of money. These people just wanted to make their point, which they did in the end.
