On this day 250 years ago occurred the lesser-known Second Boston Tea Party. A group of Patriots dressed as Mohawk Indians entered the Boston shop of Davison, Newman, & Company (a tea merchant whose tea had been destroyed in the first Boston Tea Party) and took 16 chests of tea down to the harbor and dumped the contents into the water.

On the same day in London King George III sent a message to the British Parliament, asking it to exact retribution for the Destruction of the Tea in Boston.
