B is for Boston Tea Party: Resources for Elementary

January 13, 2015 By Esther Leave a Comment

The Boston Tea Party is one of the most memorable episodes in American history. The event involved the Sons of Liberty (180+), in Native-American costumes, who boarded three ships owned by the East India Company. They destroyed 342 chests of tea in their patriotic protest, which was inspired by what they considered illegal (and unconstitutional) taxes.

The Intolerable Acts was the American Patriots’ name for a series of punitive laws passed by the British Parliament in 1774 after the Boston Tea party. They were meant to punish the Massachusetts colonists for their defiance in throwing a large tea shipment into Boston harbor. (wikipedia)
