The Philadelphia Tea Party was a political protest that took place in late December 1773, shortly after the more widely known Boston Tea Party. In response to British taxation policies and the arrival of tea shipped under the Tea Act, American colonists in Philadelphia prevented a British tea ship from unloading its cargo and forced it to return to Great Britain.
