Boston Tea Party

Boston Tea Party Happened on December 16, 1773 at Griffin’s Wharf in Boston, Massachusetts A political protest against Britain’s “taxation without representation” Stamp Act, Townshend Acts, Tea Act, etc. Dumped 342 chests of British tea into the harbor. Showed Great Britain that Americans wouldn’t take their taxations and tyranny.

Aftermath Some leaders like John Adams were thrilled, others were not. George Washington said, “Bostonians were mad and loathed the destruction of property.” Ben Franklin claimed that the company for the tea be reimbursed and even offered to pay them back himself. No one was hurt and no property was destroyed or looted. Only one person, Francis Akeley, was arrested and imprisoned.
