On December 16 1773, the colonist of Boston 

Massachusetts were getting taxed to high on 

tea, so they dumped 342 chest of tea into the 

Boston harbor

When Kevin was being taxed high on tea he needed to talk about his feelings but no 

one listened because they were to busy doing house work, so Kevin started writing 

a journal that said this:

Its been weeks of the british taxing us to high on tea and we are all very mad. So I 

ordered a meeting and we will discuss the problems and how we will take action

Kevin did exactly what he said he'd do, and at the meeting they talked about how they should do 

something about the tea taxes. They came to a conclusion that when the next shipment of tea that came 

in, they should go on the ships and dump all the tea off the boat. But they wanted to meet again one more 

time to talk about their disguise, but when they called the meeting they would need   code name so the 

british wouldn't catch them. They called themselves, "The Sons of Liberty".

Its the next meeting and its official they are going with the plan of dumping 

tea into the harbor while dressed up as Mohawk Indians. There was one 

problem, they didn't know how many boxes of tea there were. But that wasn't 

going to stop them. Kevin went out and asked around and he heard there 

were going to be 342 boxes of tea total on three boats.

Kevin's Journal:

Its December 16, 1773 and we are about to to arrive at the harbor. I really think 

the british are going to lower taxes on tea after this huge protest. We started 

walking at midnight, cause its more evil that way. 

It was about 12:15 A.M when they arrived at the 

harbor and saw a shipment of tea coming on the ship 

waiting to be unloaded. So they boarded the ship and 

started to unloading it there way.

As the colonist dumped tea they would crack open the 

chest with axes and then dumped it all in!
