The Boston Tea Party: One Of History’s Greatest Protests

Before America gained its independence from the British, the situation in the colonies was steadily deteriorating. The 1770s was the most crucial decade for the start of US history. A series of events would help push America to seek independence from the British and propelled the cause forward, leading to the American Revolution. One event that holds extreme significance in America’s quest for liberation from Britain occurred in Boston, colonial Massachusetts, known as the Boston Tea Party. It’s by no means the only event that set off the revolution, but it stands out for many reasons.

One of history’s most famous protests, The Boston Tea Party, was a carefully orchestrated demonstration aimed at making the colonist's disdain towards the British government and its laws well known. It did so in undeniable style and helped to shore up support among the colonists to leave Britain behind and start their own country with its own laws and separate government.

This is the story of the Boston Tea Party, a protest of substance and style that achieved undeniable things, including advancing revolutionary sentiment.
