Answer 1

The Boston Tea Party was a response to the Tea Act and the colonists' refusal to unload the East India Company ships. In protest, Samuel Adams and a group of rebels dumped over 300 chests of tea into Boston Harbor.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Boston Tea Party was a direct result of the tea act and the colonists' refusal to unload the East India Company ships. In an effort to save the British East India Company from bankruptcy, parliament allowed them to sell tea to the colonies without paying taxes, which made their tea cheaper than the locally sold tea. This angered the colonists, and led to the protest where Samuel Adams and a group of rebels, disguised as Native Americans, boarded the company's ships in Boston Harbor and dumped over 300 chests of tea into the water.
