On the night of December 16, 1773, a group of American colonists, cleverly disguised as Mohawk Indians to protect their identities, boarded three British ships in Boston Harbor: the Dartmouth, the Eleanor, and the Beaver. These ships were laden with tea from the British East India Company.

History

The Boston Tea Party helped to unify the American colonies. Colonists from other regions expressed solidarity with Massachusetts, as they viewed the British actions as a threat to all of them. This unity eventually led to the convening of the First Continental Congress in 1774 and further steps toward independence.
