the colonists boarded british tea ships, and the colonists destroyed the tea.

Explanation:

The sentence "The colonists boarded British tea ships, and the colonists destroyed the tea." can be made more concise by removing the repeated subject "the colonists" in the second part. Since the subject is the same for both actions (boarding the ships and destroying the tea), we can use a compound predicate to combine the two actions.

Answer:

The colonists boarded British tea ships and destroyed the tea.
