We can follow the long progression of Colonial sentiments in the Revolutionary Period, from the initial rumblings through the Declaration of Independence and the founding of a new nation. While some events, like the Boston Massacre, are tragic and brutal; the Boston Tea Party was an act of civil disobedience against England.

The Boston Tea Party was a revolutionary statement, on December 16, 1773. It also symbolically represented the colonial discontent. The ruckus involved the Sons of Liberty — more than 180 colonists disguised themselves in Native-American costumes and boarded three ships owned by the East India Company. They destroyed 342 chests of tea  in their patriotic protest, which was inspired by what they considered illegal (and unconstitutional) taxes. It could be argued that nobody was really hurt, and the disguises protected the identities of the participants.

The action of the Boston Tea Party succeeded in further exacerbating the already severely strained relations between the American colonists and the Mother Country.
