The comparison of the Massachusetts article to Joshua and John's accounts shows that the accounts of the events are based on what other people saw and an eye witness account.

Joshua Wyeth's account of the Boston  tea party

He was an eye witness to the events that took place in the ships. He actually said that he took part in the events. He was 16 years old at this time.

  • The number of people that engaged in the act were between 28 and 30.
  • They agreed to dress like Indians so they would not be detected.
  • His account is an eye witness account.

John Andrew's account of the Boston Tea party

John gave his account based on what he was told. He was not present at the venue of the event.

  • He was not present at the venue.
  • He was told that the people were Indians.
  • He was told that the number of people were up to 200.

The Massachusetts article account

The articles account is based on what a reporter wrote from what he was told.

  • The men were dressed like Indians.
  • They were only concerned with destroying the tea. They did not do things outside of this.
  • The ship owners were happy that the vessels were cleared.

In comparison, each of these accounts agrees on the fact that the people that carried out the activities were Indian like. But the number of people that did this varies on the different accounts.

Also the Massachusetts account went on to describe the feelings of the people that owned the ships.
