The King just passed a new act. Adding taxes to tea.
Does anyone have any ideas on how to rebel?
Protest?
We should enter the tea ships!!
So here's the plan...
The Sons of Liberty had a meeting concerning The Tea Act. It was December of 1773.
If we had a representativewe wouldn't have to do this.
They then went on to talking about what they should do.They went with entering the tea ships.
WE ARE NOT GOING TO TOLERATE THIS UNFAIRNESS
YOU DON'T DESERVE ANY RIGHTS
They planned out what they were going to do.They were going to dress up as Natives to blend in with the other people.
Now that we did this they might listen to us.
They, after long talks went to enter the ships and throw the tea off of them.
They threw the bags of tea off the supply ships. The King wasn't happy with the rebellious act.
THE KING IS NOT HAPPY WITH YOU COLONISTS
They didn't want to make it seem like what they did was vandalism, so they didn't harm anyone or break anything. They also supposedly sweeped the ships and even replaced a broken padlock.
