a) the destruction of a ship containing a load of british tea. b) the killing of several colonists by a group of british soldiers. c) the outlawing of slavery in all the american colonies. d) the requirement that the colonists pay taxes on british goods.

The right answer is "D) the requirement that the colonists pay taxes on British goods."

The historic event known as the Boston Tea Party occurred on December 16, 1773 in the city of the same name, in the United States. The action was a protest carried out by the settlers of the country against the high taxes levied by the British government. The incident is considered a key event in the unfolding of the American Revolution.

The men who participated in the protest were imitated in many other cities of the country and ended up being known as the first heroes of the movement for the independence of the United States. After the revolt, the English government severely punished the inhabitants of Boston, closing the port of the city. Three years later, 13 colonies declared independence and founded the United States of America.
