The Boston Tea Party
Hello Everyone in the world! Where I left off last time I wrote is where I will start today: The Boston Tea Party. The Boston Tea Party was an action by the a group called the Son's Of Liberty.
The reasons why the colonists did this is because British Parliment had taxed the tea and this made the colonists down right angry! Another event was the Boston Massacre when British soldiers killed 5 Colonists. So on December 16, 1773 Colonists diguised as Mohawk Indians whent aboard 3 British ships and dumped all the tea onboard the ships, but nothing else was damaged on the ship. Then when British Parliment heard about the so called "Tea party" they blockaded Boston Harbor(or blocked the harbor from all ships)and then made the British General Thomas Gage the Mayor in Boston. (Next week will be the Battle Of Lexington And Concord)
Sincerely,
Eragon
