BTW, i'm a bit of a Colonial America History buff, I think it's fascinating.

The Boston Tea Party was a political protest by the Sons of Liberty in Boston, a town in the British colony of Massachusetts, against the British government and the monopolistic East India Company that controlled all the tea imported into the colonies. On December 16, 1773, after officials in Boston refused to return three shiploads of taxed tea to Britain, a group of colonists boarded the ships and destroyed the tea by throwing it into Boston Harbor. The incident remains an iconic event of American history, and other political protests often refer to it.

The Tea Party was the culmination of a resistance movement throughout British America against the Tea Act, which had been passed by the British Parliament in 1773. Colonists objected to the Tea Act for a variety of reasons, especially because they believed that it violated their right to be taxed only by their own elected representatives.

Correct your turn

To be honest, I didn't read the rules before I answered, although I did remember the date of the Tea Party, (1773) I looked up much of the info I put into this post.

If this is the answer, we can safely say that Audley Harrison isn't of Korean descent.

Kim is correct, Super, according to my source 21% of Koreans have that surname, can you imagine what the telephone directory looks like?

OK Super, your turn.

No, although Lance picked up the Tour de France a record seven times, he never won the Giro.

Miguel Indurain is the only other one I know.
