In protest, a group of colonists, disguised as Mohawk Indians, boarded three British ships and dumped 342 chests of tea into Boston Harbor. This bold act of defiance against British authority became a significant catalyst for the American Revolution, galvanizing colonial resistance and uniting the colonies against British oppression.","mcq_options":[{"right":"no","answer":"The Stamp Act "},{"right":"no","answer":"The Townshend Acts "},{"right":"no","answer":"The Intolerable Acts "},{"right":"no","answer":"The Sugar Act  "}],"multi_answers":"no","subject_terms":[{"id":19,"title":"History","slug":"history"},{"id":1611,"title":"History of the United States","slug":"usa-history"}],"topic_terms":[{"id":1530,"title":"Boston Tea Party","slug":"boston-tea-party"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mcqacademy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/mcq\/7864","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mcqacademy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/mcq"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mcqacademy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/mcq"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mcqacademy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3502"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mcqacademy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7864"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mcqacademy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7864"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"topic","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mcqacademy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topic?post=7864"},{"taxonomy":"subject","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mcqacademy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/subject?post=7864"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
