The Boston Tea Party

What was a Committee of Correspondence? Groups formed by the colonists to help connect and share information from different areas. Why were they important? – These groups helped the colonists organize against the British.

What was the Boston Tea Party? The Boston Tea Party was a defining moment for the colonists in their fight for freedom. It began on December 16, 1773 when British merchants tried to import a large shipment of tea into the Colonies through the Boston harbor.

How did the colonists react? Since tea was still heavily taxed, the colonists made a stand and refused to allow the British to bring the tea on land. The two groups argued passionately, and the British refused to turn around.

What action did the Colonists take? A group of men disguised as Mohawk Indians climbed aboard the ship and dumped 45 tons of tea into the harbor in protest The tea would be worth $1 million dollars in today’s money!

How did the British respond? The Boston Tea Party angered the British. In response, they sent ships to blockade (cut off) Boston’s port until the tea had been paid for. – During this time, no ships could come in or out.

What were the Intolerable Acts? They were a series of new laws against the Colonists. The new rules included restrictions on using the harbor, and that British soldiers could stay anywhere, including in Colonists’ homes!

What was the Edenton Tea Party? It was a boycott of British products by North Carolinian women. It was called a “Tea Party” because that was now the term used for any anti-government movements.
