In 1773 the Tea Act was passed placing taxes on the colonists for buying tea, improving the tea market majorly for the British.

The anger of the colonists led them to boycotting the tea company but for some that wasn't enough...

This outraged the colonist as it would place tea out of reach for many and help an already thriving business.

The angry colonists dumped about 92,000 pounds of tea into the Boston harbor(an estimated 1-2 million dollars today).

Many argue if this act was vandalism or activism but I believe it was activism because they were standing up for what they believed in and they wouldn't ship the tea back so it would have ultimately gone to waste anyways.

Vandalism- action involving deliberate destruction of or damage to public or private property.


Activism- using vigorous campaigning to bring a change.


The actions of the colonists infuriated the British, causing them to pass the Intolerable acts.

The colonists became more and more angry and wanted more freedom... eventually leading to revolt against the British and revolution.
