问题:
Boston Tea Party
答案:
To help East India Company out of difficulty, the British parliament allowed it to undersell the tea in its American colonies without paying tax. The act harmed the interests of local tea merchants. The radical colonists took advantage of the situation. On Dec. 16, 1773, 60 colonists disguised as Indians, boarded on the tea ship and poured the tea into the sea. The event is known as the Boston Tea Party.
