The Boston Tea Party

The British have been extremely cruel to us colonists. They put so many unwanted taxes on us. Moreover they passed the tea act, making situations worse than they already were. We all strongly believed that this act needed to be stopped mainly because this way the British were gaining too much control over the tea trade. This was clearly not fair to us colonists. Situations got worse when 2 ships arrived in Boston harbor in November. This frustrated me and my friends. We demanded that the ships leave the harbor but this did not happen. This angered us even more and so we decided to retaliate. On the night of December 16 we disguised as American Indians and snuck in the tea-filled ships. Together we dumped 342 tea chests into Boston harbor. I still remember how the British made no attempt to resist us. This made the whole task much easier. However as a result of our revenge the parliament passed the intolerable acts. I still believe that whatever we did was 100 percent correct. Those cruel British deserved every bit of it.
