The Boston Tea Party took place on December 16 in 1773. American Patriots didn't want to take out the tea that came from England, because the English government increased tea taxes. The Patriots threw chests of tea into the harbor. They said: " No taxation without representation". After that American people began to fight for independence from England. This fight finished when they passed the Declaration of Independence.
