Today in History: Rebels dump hundreds of chests of tea into Boston Harbor - WHSV

BOSTON (AP) — Today is Monday, Dec. 16, the 350th day of 2019. There are 15 days left in the year.

On this day in 1773, American rebels boarded a British ship and threw more than 300 chests of tea into the Boston Harbor as a political protest to help jolt the American Revolution to life. The act of protest was against tea taxes imposed by England.
