The Boston Tea Party
When the Stamp Act was *repealed
in 1770, a small tax on tea remained. The colonists were very frustrated
with the situation so they refused to buy the tea. Finally, a group of
citizens disguised themselves as Indians and angrily dumped large amounts
of tea off of British Ships right into the water !
This was a turning point, often seen as the start of the war. The colonists
had begun to fight back!!!
*Repeal means to take back.
