Yes, you are correct! The Boston Tea Party refers to an event that took place in Boston, Massachusetts on December 16, 1773. It was a protest against the British government's imposition of a new tax on tea. Angry and frustrated colonists, known as the Sons of Liberty, boarded three British ships named Dartmouth, Eleanor, and Beaver, and dumped a total of 342 chests of tea into the Boston Harbor, in an act of defiance against British authority. The Boston Tea Party is considered a significant event leading up to the American Revolution.
