    The Boston Tea Party
    The Boston Tea Party was a reaction to the British-imposed tax on tea. While tea was actually cheap than it was previously, colonists were not accepting of paying more money to the crown. As a reaction, the Sons of Liberty boarded a ship in Boston Harbor and dumped a shipment of tea into Boston Harbor. This creative and unconventional response of the colonists is an asymmetrical reaction that shocked the British monarchy. http://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/the-boston-tea-party
