∙ 250 years since the ‘Boston Tea Party’ movement that started the American Revolution! The protest was once morest the Tea Act, which was passed by the British Parliament in 1773, imposing an excessive tax on tea. The incident took place on December 16, 1773 in Boston Harbor, Massachusetts.
60 people dressed as Red Indians crashed into a ship carrying tea from England. They threw 342 boxes of tea worth £18,000 overboard. This event became known as the ‘Boston Tea Party’. Later, the British authorities passed the Boston Harbor Act and closed the port. But with this event, the struggle for American independence intensified.
All the major events of the day were reenacted at the Boston Tea Party anniversary on Saturday.
