boston tea party stamp

Discover what led American colonists in 1773 to toss tea into the Boston Harbor in what became known as the Boston Tea Party.

--

Before the Revolutionary War, American colonists were taxed heavily for importing tea from Britain. The colonists, not fans of "taxation without representation", reacted by dumping tea into the Boston Harbor, a night now known as the Boston Tea Party. Ben Labaree gets into the nitty-gritty of that famous revolutionary act.
