Dec. 16 marks the 250th anniversary of the Boston Tea Party. While the American Revolution didn’t heat up until the events at Lexington and Concord, it was the reaction to a tea tax that led to events which caused the British to punish Boston and eventually the American colonists to rebel.
The Boston Tea Party had very little do with tax hikes. And despite the name, it wasn't a party. But it drew the ire of colonial leaders like George Washington. Now, on the 250th anniversary, historians are hoping to revisit one of the most sensationalized moments in U.S. history.
