The Boston Tea Party was a protest against the British Government in Boston, Massachusetts, in reaction to the Tea Act of 1773.
The Assassin Ratonhnhaké:ton and the Sons of Liberty organized this dumping of tea in order to stunt William Johnson's income, and to send a message of resistance to England.
Organization
- "Then it's on to Griffin's Wharf, where we board the ships and dump the tea. Simple as that."
- ―Samuel Adams to Connor about dumping the tea[src]
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 harbor. Upon short notice, Connor agreed not only to help dump the tea, but to also lead the crowd of protesters to the harbor.
Destruction of tea
- "Best we get out of here, eh?"
- ―Stephane to Connor after the last crate was dumped[src]
At night, the Sons of Liberty and a group of Patriot protesters made their way towards the wharf. Yet upon arrival, a protester recognized that there were British soldiers guarding the ships. Fortunately, Connor happened to be leading the group, and was able to quickly dispose of the threat before them. With a signal from Connor to continue, the Sons of Liberty boarded the ships and began dumping the tea.
However, the protest did not go without incident, and soon after the Patriots began dumping tea, a group of Regulars showed up 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 tea being destroyed, Connor returned to the Davenport Homestead. However, even though the tea was destroyed, somehow William managed to regain his lost profits. Yet William's recovery was short lived, for after Connor learned of his finances, William was prevented from purchasing the land once and for all.
