Boston Tea Party Plate Block - Save 40% On This Bicentennial Issue

On the night of December 16, 1773, a group of Massachusetts colonists known as the Sons of Liberty, some disguised as Mohawk warriors, boarded three merchant ships docked in Boston harbor and dumped hundreds of chests of tea into the water in protest of unfair taxes and increasing British oppression. As one of the first major events of the American Revolution, it led to unity among the colonies and increased support for independence.

In 1973 the U.S. Post Office commemorated the bicentennial of this turning point in American history with this block of four stamps that unite to form a scene of the historic revolt.
