The '''Boston Tea Party''' was a protest against the [[England|British Government]] in [[Boston]], [[Massachusetts]], in reaction to the [[Tea Act]] of 1773.


The [[Assassins|Assassin]] [[Ratonhnhaké:ton]] and the [[Sons of Liberty]] organized this dumping of the {{Wiki|East India Company}}'s tea for two seperate reasons. Connor's incentive was to stunt [[William Johnson]]'s income, and the Sons of Liberty's was to send a message of resistance to England.
==Organization==

After learning of William's plan to buy out the Mowhawk land on which his village stood, Connor proceeded to meet with [[Samuel Adams]] to discuss a way to destroy William's means of financing.
With an idea already in mind, Adams discussed with Connor the plan to dump British tea into the [[Boston Harbor]]. The reasoning behind the Sons of Liberty's plan was to send a message of revolt to England. Fortunately for the Sons, Connor had his own reasons to rid the ships of their tea, and so Adams was able to persuade the Assassin to join them on the raid.
==Destruction of tea==

At night, the [[Sons of Liberty]] and a group of Patriot protesters made their way towards the wharf disguised as Mowhawks. Upon arrival, the disguised Sons of Liberty (and those also participating in the even) boarded the three ships containing the tea and began dumping all crates into the harbor. Sure enough, as crowd started to gather around the ''Dartmouth'', ''Eleanor'', and ''Beaver'', British regulars noticed the dispelling of the precious cargo and decided to act.
And so, as any well trained military would do, a group of Regulars attempted to board the ships to prevent any more tea from being destroyed. Luckily, Connor was present during the event, and assisted the Sons of Liberty by not only dumping tea, but by also fending off the British.
With all the attacking Regulars were successfully stopped, Connor was presented the last crate of tea by the Assassin [[Stephane Chapheau]], and promptly dumped it in the water whilst staring at William Johnson, [[Charles Lee]], and [[John Pitcairn]].
==Aftermath==
With the disguises working as they should have, the British were unable to charge the Sons of Liberty with an act of treason due to insufficient evidence. And so 90,000 pounds of tea was destroyed without any of the "Mowhawks" ending up in jail.
Additionally, this protest against the Tea act was one of the key events that started the [[Revolution War|Revolutionary war]].
