d) Dressed as Native Americans

During the Boston Tea Party, many participants disguised themselves as Native Americans to hide their identity. This act of defiance against the British tea tax on December 16, 1773, saw colonists boarding British ships and dumping tea into Boston Harbor. The choice of disguise had symbolic significance, representing an American identity distinct from British colonial rule. This event, part of a larger protest against taxation without representation, was a pivotal moment leading up to the American Revolution, showcasing the growing spirit of rebellion and the lengths to which colonists would go to defend their rights.
