10. Boston Tea Party

Boston Tea Party

Description: "In 1773 the East India Company, which imported England's tea, was in financial straits, due, it seems, to its inability to sell tea in the American colonies. It appealed to the government for a remission of duties. Lord North and the kind willingly gave the relief asked for, and the company was now allowed to send its tea to America without any duty paid to England. North was asked to give up, also, the duty of threepence a pound imposed by the act of 1767; but he refused saying the kind was determined to make its collection a test of authority with America. On this small point, it seems safe to say, hung the question of American revolt." The colonists from the first refused to pay the tax. The captains of certain ships planned to return to England with their cargoes of tea but were directed by the British Governor of Massachusetts to remain. "On the night of December 16, 1773, about fifty men disguised as Indians and directed by Adams himself went aboard the ships at the wharf and emptied 342 chests of tea into the water." This has been known as in history as the Boston Tea Party.
