Product Description
Boston Tea Party
The Boston Tea Party, which occurred on December 16, 1773, was a pivotal event in American history that helped spark the American Revolution. A group of colonists, frustrated with British taxation without representation, boarded ships in Boston Harbor and dumped 342 chests of British tea into the water. This act of defiance against British authority symbolized the growing tension between the American colonies and Great Britain.
The event was significant for several reasons:
1. It demonstrated the colonists’ willingness to take direct action against perceived injustice.
2. It united the colonies in their resistance to British rule.
3. It led to punitive Coercive Acts, which further inflamed colonial resentment.
4. It became a powerful symbol of American independence and the right to self-governance.
This commemorative coin & stamps set honoring the Boston Tea Party serves as a reminder of this crucial moment in American history.
These collectible coins and stamps make this story come alive by owning a tangible piece of America’s revolutionary past. They serve as conversation starters and educational tools, helping to keep the spirit and lessons of the Boston Tea Party alive in the national consciousness.
