Boston Tea Party consisted of colonists that dressed up as American Indians, they then breached the ships and dumped the tea into the Boston Harbor This action cost a huge amount of money to the British merchants The port of Boston was shut down as a result This event lead to the creation of a independent America as conflict between America And Europe was created

In a sense it was disrespectful to the American colonies This created a partnership between all the American colonies and generate a protest against England This was the spark needed to start the American Revolution which led to the independence of America
