Boston Tea Party

A 16 of December of 1773 a group of  Massachusetts Patriots got into protest. Supposly this would make the paliment to change the way of taxation. The reason of it was tea. It all was related with the amount and the selected items in which to pay taxes. It all started with the Townshend Act which taxed daily items such as glass, lead, paint, papers, and tea. This was later partially removed except for the tea.

The colonists didn´t agree basically with none of the parliment laws. There was this company named the East India Company who sold the tea cheaper. The Parliment had passed a law that allowed this company to sell directly with the colonists. Still colonist would not buy it. They believed this was a way so parliment would trick them with taxes. 

Three ships came fulled of tea to the Americas. There were exactly 342 chests of tea all together from the ships. Quite a lot right? Well this angy people dressed as native americans. Then threw all the tea to the Boston Harbor. This was called the Tea Party just to have a fun name.
