The Boston tea party
One of the events leading up to the Revolutionary war was the Boston tea party. Before the attack happened The Sons of Liberty organized the attack and were lead by Sam Adams. Over 5,000 people showed to decide what to do about the tea. After deciding The Boston tea party then took place on a winter night in December 16 1773 It occurred at 7:00 to 10:00 pm. What happened that night was a political protest with about 160 of the Sons of Liberty dressed up as Mohawk Indians and dumped 342 chests of tea into the ocean and when they were done they also threw their shoes so that they couldn't be convicted of the crime. The whole reason they did this is because Tea act that gave East India trading company to trade without paying taxes that made other importers furious and protest (led by Samuel Adams of course). They then decided to quit paying taxes but the governor got mad at this and refused to let three ships leave without paying taxes. I believed this influenced the war to grow because the Colonist were furious about the tea tax and the British were also furious because thousands of euros of tea was dumped into the water and wasted. This act also made a lot of upcoming events happen some in the Intolerable acts.
