Information About The Boston tea Party: What caused the Boston Tea Party? Many things caused it including The French and Indian War (1754-1763), The Sugar Act (1764), The Townshend Act (1767), The Boston Massacre (1770), and The Tea Act (1773). But, the main cause was the French and Indian War. That war put the British in debt, so they taxed the colonists (and passed the Sugar and Tea Acts) to earn money. Colonists started to complain and protest, which led to The Boston Massacre, which led to more taxing as punishment, which led to the colonists creating more protests about the increasing taxes. The Boston Tea Party was one of those protests. What was the Boston Tea Party? The Boston Tea Party was a midnight raid on December 16, 1773 on three ships that brought tea to the colonists: The Eleanor, The Beaver, and The Dartmouth. The colonists dressed up as Mohawk Indians to hide their identities. In total, 342 chests of tea were thrown overboard. Samuel Adams, one of our Founding Fathers, organized this protest. What Were the Results Of The Boston Tea Party? As a result of the Boston Tea Party, The Intolerable Acts were passed, The Battle of Lexington and Concord took place, and, most importantly, we had the Revolutionary War. The British passed the Intolerable Acts to punish the colonists for the Boston Tea Party, which angered many colonists. The colonists being angered yet again led to the first battle of the Revolutionary War: The Battle of Lexington and Concord, which kicked off the war.
