The Boston Tea Party

Although the colonists  liked to drink  tea, they refused to buy the taxed tea. One day, three tea ships from England landed in Boston Harbor. 

No one would unload the tea and it sat there for days. Sam Adams and his sons of Liberty dressed as Indians , climbed onto an English ship that was importing tea, and threw all the tea into Boston harbor. 

This protest was called the Boston Tea Party. The King became angry and sent war ships and troops  to close Boston Harbor. No food and other goods could get in or out of Boston. 

The Boston Tea Party started a long fight between England and America.
