Life during the Boston Tea Party (unit two, assignment six)

From reading this passage I learned that the Boston Tea Party was a complete secret from everybody. Nobody knew who eachother was on the boat and nobody knew who was responsible. The Boston Tea Party was purely out of choice of the people, and nobody was forced and nobody was blamed. I also learned that it wasn't some big riot being held on a British ship, but that it was actually extremely quiet. The only thing you could really hear were the crates going "plop" into the water. That actually suprised me because you would think that it would have been a big loud party with everything being damaged, but the only thing that was actually damaged was the tea.
