up as Mohawk Indians

This is what the colonists dressed up like.

A crowd gathered by the thousands to watch the tea

being dumped.

 Everything was left in the same place it was when they arrived,

except the tea that was dumped.

The British Admiral in charge watched the whole fleet from

an upstairs window.

 After they cleaned off the ship's decks they marched back in a

single file line.

 Soon after the tea party, that night a song was heard all through the

town. The beginning went like this...

Rally, Mowhawks!Bring out your axes, and tell King

Georgewe will pay no taxes!On his foreign tea!
