Boston Tea Party
The Boston Tea Party was a political protest by the Sons of Liberty in Boston, on December 16, 1773. The demonstrators, some disguised as Native Americans, in defiance of the Tea Act of May 10, 1773 destroyed an entire shipment of tea sent by the East India Company.
In total 1.7 million of today's us dollars worth of tea was thrown into the harbor.
Patriots Point of View
The Patriots were more of a radical group going to extremes to protest what they believe is wrong.
Loyalists Point of View
The Loyalist sought more civil ways of protest such as petitions and other peaceful demonstrations of rebelling.
Great Britain's Point of View
Great Britain saw this as an uprising and wanted to stop it in its tracks.
Great Britain and the Colonists relationship afterwards
The Tea Party led to many conflicts between the two and was proven to be one of the main causes of the American Revolution.
