The Boston Tea Party

                   The Boston Tea Party occurred on December 16, 1773. This was a protest done by The Sons of Liberty, a group of patriots that believed in and protected the rights of colonists. They boarded the ships full of tea and dumped all the tea in the Boston Harbor. The Sons of Liberty dressed up as American Indians, to hide their identities. The Boston Tea Party happened because in May of 1773, the British imposed a tax on tea imported from the East India Company. Since the colonists had no say in parliament, they revolted even more. This event is a pivotal reason, that the American Revolution was started.

                    The Boston Tea Party was the worst idea ever! Last night, The Sons of Liberty dressed up as Indians and dumped all our beloved tea in the harbor! Even though the British imposed a tax on our tea, that doesn't give the colonists the right to dump it. The taxes help the British pay for the tea that we drink everyday! Colonists are starting to gain confidence and revolt more against the British. I'm afraid that a revolution is on the horizon.
