The Boston Tea Party .

What did you learn about life during the revolutionary era from reading this document?- They had to dump the tea because of the taxes. so all of the tea had to be dump in the boston harbor. The Tea was destroyed was contained in three ships.They dumped the tea on a cer
ntain day. They were surrounded by the British army ships.


What surprised you the most about what you read?
That they had to dump all the tea in the ocean. They saved some of the tea, it was floating up a shore in the morning and they got the tea. They were mad because they couldn't pay the taxes for the tea so they dump the tea.

  1. Why did the colonists dump the tea into the ocean? What point were they trying to make to the British? They could pay the taxes, but they didn't feel they should have to.

    I can tell you read the account. Some small errors, but overall a good post. 25/30 points.
