History

Earlier, the Boston Tea Party represented American political protest started in Boston, Massachusetts, by the Sons of Liberty. This happened on 16th December 1773, and the main target of this protest was the “Tea Act.” The act enabled the British East India Company to export tea from China to America without any tax payment. So, the Sons of Liberty took it upon themselves to oppose the taxes levied by the Townshend Act. It was a straight violation of their rights, and the protestors began destroying all the tea shipments sent across by the East India Company. All the demonstrators came on the ship and threw the tea chests into the Boston Harbor. Britishers responded to this act brutally, and that led to American Revolution. It is an iconic event in the history of the country.

Not only this but many Americans, including John Adams, stopped consuming tea and shifted to coffee instead. It was not before 1834 that the “Boston Tea Party” came to the news. Before that, this term was solely dedicated to the destruction of tea. The entire experience and history of those days are represented in the Boston Tea Party Ships and Museum.
