History: The Boston Tea Party was a political protest by the Sons of Liberty in Boston, Massachusetts, on December 16, 1773. Demonstrators destroyed an entire shipment of tea, sent by the East India Company, in defiance of the Tea Act of May 10, 1773. The British governments response helped escalate the start of the American Revolution. The Tea Party became an iconic event of American history.
