The Boston Tea Party. The Americans were angry because their tea was being taxed. American colonists formed a group called the Sons of Liberty. They dressed up as Mohawk Native Americans and they went on three British ships. The Sons of Liberty threw 342 crates of tea off the ship and into the Boston harbor. They threw the tea in the harbor on December 16, 1773. After the Sons of Liberty did this, other people in other places did this. All of the people were so mad that they would not drink the tea anymore.
