The Boston Tea Party

Hello everybody! Today our issue is the Boston tea party and I hope that you’re interested in it!!!

 

Why did it happen??

In the 1700s Boston was a part of the British colony and an important port. 1770 the Boston massacre took place and 5 American men died. The people in Boston were really unhappy because of the British authority. In the night of the 16^TH December 1773 groups like “The Sons of Liberty” went to the harbour. There were British ships loaded with tea. The groups sailed with the ships on the high sea and threw the tea boxes into the ocean. Afterwards the British government closed the Boston harbour. This the beginning of the American revolution.
