The Boston Tea Party The Boston Tea Party The Boston Tea Party

It was 1773. The English ships come into Boston Harbor. During the night, one hundred fifty colonists dressed like Mohawk Indians. They put feathers in their hair. They painted their faces. They did not want the governor to know who they were. The colonists got on three English ships in the harbor. They tore open the chests of tea. They threw the tea into the ocean. When King George heard what had happened, he punished the people of Boston. He said thy must pay for the tea. He also closed Boston Harbor and sent more English soldiers to the Massachusetts colony. But many colonists were proud. People in all the colonies heard about "The Boston Tea Party." The colonists knew now that they could do something. They could act together when England was unfair.
