The Boston T Party of 1773

The Boston T Party of 1773 took place when the French and Indian War became an expense to the British. The government of King George III considered taxing the American colonies. After serching for ways to seize control over the colonial government they became strongly independent while the thrown was occupied with the war. Undistracted by Parliment, shipments of tea from the East India Company were delivered to New York and Philidelphia. Though the ships were not able to land, the tea-laden were allowed to dock in Charleston. Due to the large uproar in Boston from the three tea ships, all individuals who were present dumped cargos of tea into the waters of the Boston Harbor on December 16, 1773. Three months later the Intolerable Acts was passed by Parliment which closed the Port of Boston.
