The Boston Tea Party, formally set up by John Adams, was a political group formed to protest the unfair ways that Tea was produced and districted among the colonists. The Boston Tea Party followed the decline of the Stamp Act, when some colonists and Indians realized the important Tea had of their lives, and how little they could obtain due to the corrupt British Parliament. The first act destructive retaliation was when the Sons of Liberty in Boston disguised themselves as Indians, destroyed an entire supply of tea sent from the East India Trading Company, which carried the British tax that the Americans didn’t approve of. They boarded the ships and threw the crate after crate of tea into Boston Harbor, destroying every last bit of British endorsed Tea. The British government responded harshly, or course which sparked into the very begging of the American Revolution. This was a milestone for the long episodes of chaos changes, reforms, in our American History. It was the first time the colonists stood up and took drastic measures to gain fair rights for themselves.

Henceforth, the colonists refused to accept the Tea because it violated their rights as Englishmen. The Phase "No taxation without representation," became a very popular slogan among the reformers. It meant they would not tolerate taxes upon them without there consent, they couldn't simply just be taxes against heir will because Parliament felt they had a right to do so. Through many upon many vigorous protects, the colonists managed to successfully eliminate the tax of tea in three of the colonies, but the main port in Boston was still under taxation. Eventually the colonists decided to simply boycott all tea that was taxes by British Parliament, as they believed it would serve as a more non-violent approach. This didn’t mean that the colonists were cut off from tea completely; these were lots of people who made good business from smuggling tea into the colonies. Parliament responded in 1774 with the Intolerable Acts, which, from its name, states the British in-toleration of the colonist’s defiance of obedience to the King. Colonists in turn responded to the Intolerable Acts with more acts of protest, forcing the British to repeal the Coercive Acts. The crisis escalated, and the American Revolutionary War began near Boston in 1775.
