Trivia: Who led the covert mission known as the Boston Tea Party?
Samuel Adams
Paul Revere
Thomas Paine
George Washington
The correct answer is Samuel Adams
So why is this answer correct? : On December 16, 1773, a group of patriots known as the Sons of Liberty dumped 342 chests of tea into the Boston Harbor, an act that cost Britain nearly $1 million in today’s U.S. dollars. The covert operation, led by patriot Samuel Adams, served as a protest against British taxation, and inspired future acts of rebellion on the road to American independence.
