Which of the following is the best summary of the provided text?
The American colonists were angry about taxes, especially the tax on tea. They protested in Boston by dressing up and throwing tea into the harbor, which led to new laws from the British.
The American Revolution was a fight for freedom from Great Britain. The Boston Tea Party happened when colonists in Massachusetts dumped tea into the harbor to protest unfair taxes.
Great Britain ruled the American colonies and made them pay taxes on goods. The colonists in Boston protested the tea tax by throwing the tea into the water, and this made the British angry.
In 1773, American colonists in Massachusetts, upset about the tea tax imposed by Great Britain, disguised themselves as Native Americans and destroyed a shipment of tea in Boston Harbor. This event was a cause of the American Revolution.
