Answer 2

Colonists in disguise boarded ships in Boston Harbor and dumped a shipment of tea in the water.

Step-by-step explanation:

In 1773 the colonists were done with the British taxing them. The British taxed people on playing cards, tea, and many other products-which was already hard for people in Britain to pay. So, colonists disguised themselves and then snuck aboard British ships containing goods. Once on the ship, they dumped the tea into the harbor.
