The Boston Tea Party was a significant event that took place in 1773. It was a protest against the British government's imposition of taxes on tea. During the Boston Tea Party, a group of American colonists, disguised as Native Americans, boarded British ships and dumped chests of tea into the Boston Harbor. This act of defiance had several consequences. It further strained the relationship between the American colonists and the British government, leading to increased tensions and eventually contributing to the outbreak of the American Revolution.
