It is when the Americans show the British their anger. The British tea didn't has taxes as the American tea has. So the Americans sneak into the British ships and throw all the tea cargo into the sea. The Americans were wearing Indians cloths at that attack.

The Boston Tea Party was an act of direct action by American colonists against Great Britain in which they destroyed many crates of tea bricks on ships in Boston Harbor. The incident took place on Thursday, December 16, 1773, and has been seen as helping to spark the American Revolution.

When my daughter was writing a report about the Tea Party some years ago she found an article on the internet that stated that there was tea on ships up and down the northern coast including in New York and Phillidelphia harbors. These cashes of tea were the result of John Hancock with his sloop "Liberty" smuggeling into the colonies Dutch tea which was cheeper. The merchant owners could not unload or sell their tea and were forced to store it in other harbors along the coast. When the word of the original tea party spread through out the colonies other patriots decided to follow suit and destroy some of the tea stored in other harbors. Boston was to repeat this event again in March 1774 when a fifth ship arrived loaded with tea owned by the Dutch East India Company. Also there were four ship of tea which were destined for Boston Harbor but the remaining ship, the William, ran aground in Provencetown. Finally the ships were American and the tea was from China.

Thank you. I like the way you have expressed the unusual. I like that you know how they dressed! Seeing your verbs, I assume you are not a person who is primarily an English language writer.
