Add to: iGoogleMy Yahoo!The New York Times Company.This article is about a 1773 American protest.This 1846 lithograph has become a classic image of the Boston Tea Party.The Boston Tea Party was an act of direct action by the American colonists against Great Britain in which they destroyed many crates of tea bricks on ships in Boston Harbor.One of the protesters was John Hancock.In 1768, Hancock's ship Liberty was seized by customs officials, and he was charged with smuggling.By 1773, the company had large debts, huge stocks of tea in its warehouses and no prospect of selling it because smugglers, such as Hancock, were importing tea from Holland without paying import taxes.The British government passed the Tea Act, which allowed the East India Company to sell tea to the colonies directly and without "payment of any customs or duties whatsoever" in Britain, instead paying the much lower American duty.Protests resulted in both Philadelphia and New York, but it was those in Boston that made their mark in history.Samuel Adams whipped up the growing crowd by demanding a series of protest meetings.Coming from both the city and outlying areas, thousands attended these meetings; every meeting larger than the one before.On the night of December 16, the protest meeting, held at Boston's Old South Meeting House, was the largest yet seen.An estimated 8,000 people were said to have attended.The casks were opened and the tea dumped overboard; the work, lasting well into the night, was quick, thorough, and efficient.Tea washed up on the shores around Boston for weeks.Attempts were made by the citizens of Boston to carry off some of the tea.Reaction
Hutchinson's actions had caused a crisis.He had been urging London to take a hard line with the Sons of Liberty.If he had done what the other royal governors had done and let the ship owners and captains resolve the issue with the colonists, the Dartmouth, Eleanor, and the Beaver would have left without unloading any tea.In February, 1775, Britain passed the Conciliatory Resolution which ended taxation for any colony which satisfactorily provided for the imperial defence and the upkeep of imperial officers.Lord North said, "Whatever may be the consequence, we must risk something; if we do not, all is over".In addition, John Hancock, Samuel Adams, Joseph Warren, and Benjamin Church were charged with the "Crime of High Treason".In the colonies, Benjamin Franklin stated that the destroyed tea must be repaid.Robert Murray, a New York merchant went to Lord North with three other merchants and offered to pay for the losses, but the offer was turned down.The Boston Tea Party eventually proved to be one of the many catalysts which led to the American Revolutionary War.Many colonists, in Boston and elsewhere in the country, pledged to abstain from tea drinking as a protest, turning instead to "Balsamic hyperion" (made from raspberry leaves), other herbal infusions and coffee.Benjamin Franklin(Anchor Books, 2000)p.All text is available under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License.Welcome to Tea Party on a Tray, a unique gift idea that blends the enjoyment of tea with the love of friends and family.Create a custom tea party on a tray.You can add a personalized message and request gift wrap for accessories at checkout.When you or your friend receive your lovely TPOT, all you need to do is just add hot water!Marketing by Judy Asman Communication
