Explain the Tea Act and exactly why the colonists were upset about it.
Based on the above, does it make sense that the modern Tea Party movement (which in some quarters states "Tea" stands for "Taxed Enough Already?") named itself after the original event? Why or why not?
What did the patriots hope to accomplish by destroying the tea?
Did all of the citizens of Boston who gathered around approve of the actions of the Sons of Liberty?
How did the patriots treat those who disagreed or tried to pick up loose tea?
How would people who destroyed $4 million worth of private property as a protest be treated by people today? Why are the Sons of Liberty remembered as patriots?
