TEA DESTROYED IN DARING NIGHT PROTEST
Peaceful but Powerful Act of Defiance in Boston Harbor

Last evening, a group of men—some dressed as Mohawk Indians—boarded three ships in Boston Harbor and destroyed an entire shipment of tea in protest against British taxation.

Starting with Captain Hall’s ship, the protestors cracked open the wooden tea chests and dumped their contents into the sea. They continued to Captain Bruce’s and Captain Coffin’s vessels, emptying a total of 342 chests in under three hours. The harbor waters were soon covered in floating leaves of tea, stretching from the south part of town to Dorchester Neck.

Despite the large crowd, the protest remained disciplined. No other goods on the ships were touched. In fact, when a padlock was accidentally broken during the action, the protestors replaced it, showing great care for private property. A few individuals who tried to pocket tea were quickly stopped and removed by the crowd.

By morning, the town was calm, and many citizens appeared joyful—some pleased by the act of protest, others by the peacefulness of the night. Reports suggest even the ship owners were relieved to have the tea gone without damage to their vessels.

This bold act follows ongoing anger over the Tea Act and British attempts to tax the colonies without their consent. The people of Boston have made their message clear: No taxation without representation.

Patrick Henry’s big speech in 1775 pushed Virginia to get ready to fight back against Britain, and it helped kick off the American Revolution. The colonists were tired of unfair taxes and not having a voice, so they stood up for freedom. Today, that fight still matters because it inspired other countries and shows why democracy is important.
