On December 16, 1773 Boston demonstrators, some disguised as American Indians, destroyed a shipment of tea sent by the East India Company to protest the Tea Act of May 10, 1773. This song sheet Tea Destroyed by Indians was published the same year. The bold lyrics calling the British king a tyrant reflect the sentiments that led to the American Revolution.
