Boston Tea Party IN 1773, when Samuel Adams, lead the Sons Of Libertey to a ship in the port of Boston, to throw off tea. This all hapened because the Britain's East India Company could not sell the tea in England. So the government passed the Tea Act of 1773. This alowed them to export their merchandise directly to the colonies without paying any of the regular taxes. How this happened is that the Sons Of Libertey dressed like Indians and then aboard three ships. Then dumped all the tea overbord.http://www.let.rug.nl/usa/E/teaparty/bostonxx.htm
