Boston Tea Party was a political protest in the state of Massachusetts. The Americans called out Britain for imposition of taxes without giving them adequate representation. In the symbolic move, they dumped loads of tea in the harbour and hence the name.

Explanation:

Boston Tea Party in its sense was the first symbol of rebellion against British hegemonic policies in the colonised US. Some of the other important facts associated with the Boston Tea Party includes-

The prevailing notion is that colonist attacked King George’s tea and dumped it into the Boston harbour. The tea was privately owned by EIC (East India Company) and was transported on private shipping vessels. Though the act was symbolically against British authorities, the whole damage was to private traders. The tea had Chinese origin, not Indian. There is a prevailing misconfusion that Tea was Indian. It must be made sure that the British exclusively imported tea from China. There is another thought that tea party success rallied for revolution across the colonies. However, it is far from true. It was rather UK parliament sanctioning of Intolerable Acts that called for harsh punitive measures for colonial rebels that caused flaring of the rebellion.
