Boston Massacre movie

Tea Act, 1773 • Britain passed the Tea Act

of 1773. It lowered the price of the tea, added a very small tax on it.

• But you could only buy from the British East India Co. & no one else.

• So, colonists would not allow ships to unload the tea. They had to go back to Britain; except in Boston.

Boston Tea Party

• On Dec. 16, 1773, about 50 Sons of Liberty, led by Sam Adams, dressed as Mohawk Indians.

• They got onto the 3 ships in Boston Harbor and dumped 342 chests, 90,000 lbs., of tea into the water. ($700,000)

• Everybody cheered!
