This occurred before the american revolution and was lead by a political protest group known as The Sons of Liberty. The members of the group took control of a tea shipment coming from the East India Company and the members dumped all of the tea into the harbor in protest to the tea act that the British had imposed on the colonies. The British had already imposed many other different kinds of taxes on other goods and the protesters felt that the British had no right and no representation to do so since the colonies and the British government were both separated by the Atlantic Ocean This event eventually inspired others to also commit an act of disobedience and escalated on both sides to the break out of the American Revolution. Disobedience is necessary for social progress, improvements, removal of the unjust, and as a whole is something that is needed to promote change. These examples are only a few examples of disobedience throughout history. Disobedience acts almost like a wake up call to those who look and hope for change making it a valuable human
