Tea Act of 1773 Tea was taxed to pay the war debt from the French & Indian war and to keep the soldiers in Boston to “protect” the colonists.

Tea Boycotts The Patriots stopped buying the British tea because they thought that the taxes were unreasonable.

The Events of the Boston Tea Party The British spent too much money on the French and Indian War so they put a tax on tea. Then the Sons of Liberty dressed up like Indians and dumped 342 chests of tea into the Boston Harbor.

People that were involved Samuel Adams, John Hancock , Sons of Liberty, Daughters of Liberty, Paul Revere, John Adams, and Josiah Quincy were all involved in the Boston Tea Party.
