The Boston Tea Party

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Boston Tea Party was an act of civil disobedience where American colonists, disguised as Native Americans, dumped tea from British ships into the Boston Harbor as a protest against the Tea Act of 1773. It was not supported by the King of England, had a significant effect on the relationship between Britain and the colonies, and was not carried out by British soldiers. It also did not directly lead to the French and Indian War as that conflict had ended years earlier.
