Although, this still was not enough for the colonists and so they united and rebelled with three uprisings. The first one was the Boston Tea Party on December 16, 1773, where Sam Adams and the sons of liberty threw out chests of tea overboard. This was done to mess with England’s luxuries, which included tea, to question how it was they could afford tea but not to pay off the debt.
