A major event in the starting of the American War for Independence was the Boston Tea Party, in which many Colonial men dressed up as Native Americans and threw a shipload of tea into the Boston Harbour. This was to make a point that the colonists were tired of paying huge, unreasonable taxes. Here's a link about it:

I love the name of this event.
It's sad that they wasted all that tea and money... and then Britian made them pay it all back.
