Milestone Monday

A Brewed Rebellion

On this day, December 16, 1773, the Boston Tea Party took place, a significant event in American history. It was a political protest by the American colonists against British taxation without representation. The Tea Act of 1773 allowed the British East India Company to sell tea directly to the colonies. This undercutting of local merchants and enforcing a tax on tea was the catalyst for this protest.

On the night of the incident, a group of colonists, known as the Sons of Liberty, dressed as Mohawk Indians to conceal their identities and boarded three British ships anchored in Boston Harbor. They threw 342 chests of tea, worth around the equivalent of one million dollars today, overboard into the harbor.

Samuel Adams primarily led the Boston Tea Party, which was organized by John Hancock. However, the identities of many of the participants remain a mystery. Notably, Francis Akeley is the only individual known to have been arrested and imprisoned for his role in the event. 

The images come from:

Dorothy Q: Together with A Ballad of the Boston Tea Party & Grandmother's Story of Bunker Hill Battle by Oliver Wendell Holmes with illustrations by Howard Pyle, published in Boston by  Houghton, Mifflin and Company in 1893.
