I was 38 years old (last year) when I learned that the was due to the tax being too low and eating into the Tea money, which is why the smugglers staged the raid!

On this day in 1773, a bunch of rich white guys dressed up like indigenous mohawk natives (In the event they were witnessed) and dumped tea into Boston harbor. These members of the merchant class were protesting the Tea Act which effectively gave the East India Company a monopoly to sell tea in the colonies, significantly impacting American merchant profits.

Hamilton the Musical is superb, as is its revisionist interpretation of the US Wars of Independence. That said, the Sensational Alex Harvey Band is better. Way, way better.
