Events such as the Stamp Act and the Boston Massacre agitated the American colonists. England's act to tax tea set them over the edge and sparked the American Revolution. On December 16th, 1773, three tea ships docked in Boston. As many as 7,000 locals gathered at the wharf, angry and wanting them out. In a meeting the next morning, the Collector of Customs would not let the ships leave without leaving it's shipment in Boston. That evening, while the meeting was clearing up and people were leaving, around 200 men gathered on a nearby hill in secret. Some of them were disguised as Indians. Yelling war chants, the group marched, two-by-two, down to the wharf. They ran onto the ships and dumped most of the tea into the ocean. This was the action that triggered the Revolution.

The Boston Tea Party (referred to in its time simply as "the destruction of the tea" or by other informal names and not celebrated until half a century later) was a political protest by the Sons of Liberty in Boston, a city in the British colony of Massachusetts, against the tax policy of the British government and the East India Company that controlled all the tea imported into the colonies. On December 16, 1773, after officials in Boston refused to return three shiploads of taxed tea to Britain, a group of colonists boarded the ships and destroyed the tea by throwing it into Boston Harbor. The incident remains an iconic event of American history, and other political protests often refer to it. The Tea Party was the culmination of a resistance movement throughout British America against the Tea Act, which had been passed by the British Parliament in 1773. Colonists objected to the Tea Act because they believed that it violated their right to be taxed only by their own elected representatives. Protesters had successfully prevented the unloading of taxed tea in three other colonies, but in Boston, embattled Royal Governor Thomas Hutchinson refused to allow the tea to be returned to Britain. He apparently did not expect that the protesters would choose to destroy the tea rather than concede the authority of a legislature in which they were not directly represented.

The Boston Tea Party was one of the most iconic points in American history. The Tax on tea aggravated the American people; it was like the straw that broke the Camels back. The sons of liberty went aboard a ship and threw all of the tea overboard into Boston Harbor.

The Boston Tea Party was a key event in the growth of the American Revolution. Parliament responded in 1774 with the Coercive Acts, or Intolerable Acts, which, among other provisions, closed Boston's commerce until the British East India Company had been repaid for the destroyed tea. Colonists in turn responded to the Coercive Acts with additional acts of protest, and by convening the First Continental Congress, which petitioned the British monarch for repeal of the acts and coordinated colonial resistance to them. The crisis escalated, and the American Revolutionary War began near Boston in 1775.

A true story of the spy network that tried to destroy the Civil Rights Movement... It was 1956, and the Civil Rights Movement was in full swing. Across the nation, African Americans were demanding their rights, and the U.S. Supreme Court was ruling in their favor. But a system of segregation rooted in white supremacy had been a way of life for two hundred years in the Deep South, and Mississippi was not changing its ways without a fight. Thus was born a new arm of the state: a secret propaganda, espionage, and dirty tricks agency. It was called the Mississippi State Sovereignty Commission, and its mission was simple: to stop racial integration - at all costs.
