To replace thee Townshend Acts, the Tea Act was put into place by Parliament in 1773. Naturally, we were worried about the act because the cheap British tea could have potentially put some of us out of business. We also feared that the British East India Company would monopolize thee tea trade. Our fears were put to rest when we came up with a brilliant idea which would soon be known as the Boston Tea Party. In November of 1773, three tea ships arrived in thee Boston Harbor. Thy Sons Of Liberties demanded that the ships leave immediately, but Thomas Hutchinson, governor of Massachusetts, would not let thee ships leave without paying the tea duty, so our plan was in immense effect. On the night of December 16th, us colonists disguised as American Indians and snuck onto thee three tea ships. George Hewes seemed to be having the time of his life; he even wrote a pamphlet about it. After we dumped 342 tea chests into the Boston Harbor, we headed home to disfigure of our disguises. Marvelously, the word of the Boston Tea Party spread like wildfire. The streets cried and cheered, "Boston harbor is a teapot tonight!"
