The Boston Tea Party

• The Boston Tea Party was a political protest that occurred on December 16, 1773, at Griffin’s Wharf in Boston, Massachusetts. At the time, America was still composed of 13 colonies ruled by Great Britain.

• The event was fueled by the colonists' anger over the Tea Act of 1773, which allowed the British East India Company to sell tea in the colonies without paying taxes, while local colonial merchants were heavily taxed. This led to the famous rallying cry: "No taxation without representation!"
