What group of colonists are shown participating in the Boston tea party?

The Boston Tea Party primarily involved American colonists known as the Sons of Liberty, a group of patriots who opposed British taxation without representation. Dressed as Mohawk Indians to conceal their identities, they boarded British ships in Boston Harbor on December 16, 1773, and dumped 342 chests of tea into the water as a protest against the Tea Act. This act of defiance was aimed at challenging British authority and sparked further tensions leading to the American Revolution.
