Boston Commemorate Commemorating Dump Indians Postcards Revolution Revolutionary Dumping
EDITORS COMMENTS
This postcard commemorates one of the most significant events in American history: the Boston Tea Party. On the night of December 16, 1773, a group of American colonists, disguised as Native Americans, boarded three British ships docked in Boston Harbor and proceeded to dump 342 chests of tea into the water. This act of defiance was a response to the British Parliament's Tea Act, which granted the British East India Company a monopoly on tea sales in the American colonies and imposed taxes without the colonists' consent. The Boston Tea Party was a pivotal moment in the build-up to the American Revolution, as it marked a clear break between the colonists and the British government. The event sparked outrage in Britain and led to increased tensions between the two parties, ultimately culminating in the Revolutionary War and the United States' quest for independence. This postcard serves as a reminder of this historic event and the courage of the colonists who took a stand against British rule.
