In summary:
<quoting http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boston_Tea_Party>
The Boston Tea Party was an act of protest by the American colonists
against Great Britain in which they destroyed many crates of tea
bricks on ships in Boston Harbor. The incident, which took place on
Thursday, December 16, 1773, has been seen as helping to spark the
American Revolution.
