The city of Boston is in the historic spotlight this weekend. If you can believe it, this weekend marks the 250th anniversary of the famous Boston Tea Party,.
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.
The Tea Party included a colonial tradition of adopting Native American imagery as a symbol of freedom and fierce independence a tradition still woven throughout American culture.
