Boston Tea Party was a political protest in the state of Massachusetts. The Americans called out Britain for imposition of taxes without giving them adequate representation. In the symbolic move, they dumped loads of tea in the harbour and hence the name.
Explanation:
Boston Tea Party in its sense was the first symbol of rebellion against British hegemonic policies in the colonised US. Some of the other important facts associated with the Boston Tea Party includes-
- The prevailing notion is that colonist attacked King George’s tea and dumped it into the Boston harbour. The tea was privately owned by EIC (East India Company) and was transported on private shipping vessels. Though the act was symbolically against British authorities, the whole damage was to private traders.
- The tea had Chinese origin, not Indian. There is a prevailing misconfusion that Tea was Indian. It must be made sure that the British exclusively imported tea from China.
- There is another thought that tea party success rallied for revolution across the colonies. However, it is far from true. It was rather UK parliament sanctioning of Intolerable Acts that called for harsh punitive measures for colonial rebels that caused flaring of the rebellion.

Explanation:
1) FDR was paralyzed from the waist down and couldn't walk. He used a wheelchair. I would recommend looking this up to find some personal reasons as to why this is interesting. I however find it interesting because we still aren't quite sure if the cause of his paralysis was polio or Guillen-barre's syndrome.
2) FDR was the only president to serve for 4 terms. Again I recommend looking this up to find something you find interesting. I however just think it is interesting because during the time he was president (the Great Depression and beginning of WW2) the United States was pretty unstable, which shows the trust that the people had in their president at the time.
