  • Boston Tea Party

    Boston Tea Party
    This event came about when the newly imperialised Americans got fed up with the ridiculously high taxation rate from the British.

So, the new self-proclaimed Americans, decided to throw all of the tea into the Boston Harbor to “prove a point.” This event relates to the Revolution theme of history because the people stood up for something they believed in. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boston_Tea_Party
