On this day, patriots from the American colonies dumped ninety two thousand pounds of tea into the Boston harbor. They did this because of the 'Intolerable Acts', tax laws that forced the colonies to pay tax on common good such as paper, tea, stamps, etc. Before revolting against the British in such an extreme way they tried to get the ship to be sent back to Britain, but the British refused, which made the colonists take action and dump the tea into the harbor.]]> 2018-02-27 06:38:03 UTC https://padlet.com/ismael_morales/kjg59j21vwi8/wish/235741408 ismael_morales https://padlet.com/ismael_morales/kjg59j21vwi8/wish/235742293 This event is one of the few that started the civil war, which resulted in our freedom. Without historic events like this occurring we could still be in the same position we we hundreds of years ago, or worse. Under command of a king, forced to pay ridiculous taxes, and NO freedom. With the patriots revolting against the British they won us freedom to the next generations, and this is why this event and much more like this are very important to citizens of the United States.]]> 2018-02-27 06:44:42 UTC https://padlet.com/ismael_morales/kjg59j21vwi8/wish/235742293 ismael_morales https://padlet.com/ismael_morales/kjg59j21vwi8/wish/235742884 The patriots dressed up as Indians throwing tea over the side of the ship:
