Another #Anniversary today 😄

The #BostonTeaParty | December 16, 1773

In #BostonHarbor , a group of #Massachusetts colonists disguised as #MohawkIndians board three tea ships and dump 342 chests of tea into the harbor.

… was in protest of the #British Parliament’s #TeaAct of 1773, a bill designed to save the faltering #EastIndiaCompany by greatly lowering its tea tax and granting it a virtual monopoly on the American tea trade.

Today in History: July 24, 1773 – Foreshadowing the Boston Tea Party in the Passage of the Tea Act of 1773

The Tea Act didn’t raise taxes—it raised hackles.

Britain wanted control. The colonies wanted fire.

Next stop: revolution. 🫖🔥
