Who dumped out the tea in the Boston Tea Party?

Answer 1

A gang of urban terrorists calling themselves "The Sons of Liberty" Some of the people in Boston wanted to rebel so they came up with a plan to dump the tea into the harbor because of the King's tea tax, check wikipedia for more info!

Answer 2

Because the British were putting unfair laws on the Americans such as raising the price of tea. So to protest they went aboard a British ship dressed as Native Americans and dumped tea overboard the edge of the ship.

Answer 3

They didn't dress up. This is part of the fable. The Boston Tea Party was a protest of the lowering of the cost of the British tea by the government and the East India tea company who had gotten a bail out from the crown in 1773. The smugglers in the colonies found the Dutch tea that they sold was higher in price than the British tea, so they staged the Boston Tea Party and others in harbors in the colonies ( Hamilton was one of the largest smugglers in the colonies and a founding member of the Son's of Liberty). The cost of tea also went as far back as the Navigation Acts and the restricting of trade to and from the colonies passed from 1650-1733. Tea was also taxed in 1767 in the Townsend Acts.

Answer 4

The "tea party" was part of a larger protest by American colonists. They were angry with what they saw as unfair taxation and the granting of a tea monopoly to one company (The East India Company). Three ships were docked in the Boston Harbour and were targeted by the protesters because they had their cargo holds full of tea.
