Why did the men disguise themselves as Indians?

The men disguised themselves as Indians during the Boston Tea Party to conceal their identities and avoid repercussions for their actions against British taxation. This act of rebellion was aimed at protesting the Tea Act, which granted the British East India Company a monopoly on tea sales in the American colonies. By adopting Indian attire, they also symbolically aligned themselves with anti-colonial sentiments and sought to deflect blame from themselves as American colonists.
