During a pivotal colonial protest, numerous crates of tea were destroyed in a harbor by a group of colonists disguised as Native Americans. This act of defiance against the British Tea Act underscored the escalating tension between Britain and the American colonies. John Adams later praised the destruction of the tea, recognizing it as a crucial episode in the fight against what many colonists viewed as oppressive taxation without representation.
